Mountain bike downhill around the Hochkönig

Kick on the mountain

Downhill, it's all about the all-terrain rides. On mountain bikes or on special downhill bikes, go down the mountain with natural obstacles and difficulties. Coming down the mountain in one piece demands a lot of practice, strength and stamina. From easy downhill rides to pro-trails; you will find many downhill opportunities on the Salzburg Mountains.

Steep slopes, crunching bumps and breathtaking steps: the most challenging terrain is the most interesting for downhill rides. Every downhill racer needs endurance, concentration and of course strength in order to have full control over his or her bike at all times. Sharp responsiveness is also demanded in order to overcome the obstacles. Pros can reach a speed of up to 70-80km/h during a downhill ride.
