Mountain biking in the Zillertal

Mountain biking in the Zillertal is a great alternative to hiking. In the bike rental and sports shop of the Hotel Neuhintertux, you will find everything you need for your favourite summer sport in the Tuxertal. And, best of all: you can start your mountain bike tours right in front of the Hotel in Hintertux!

In the Zillertal, more than 80 km of bike and cycling paths invite you to jump on your bike. If you prefer it a bit more comfortable, you can always use an E-bike or if you like breaking a sweat, just use an ordinary mountain bike. In addition to pleasant valley cycling routes, you can also find enticing and sensational mountain bike trails. Freeriders will feel at home on the challenging single trails – and a “hell ride” will surely provide you with lots of adrenaline.

Single trails in the Tuxertal: pure adrenalin for freeriders

Two really strong single trails await you on the Penken, the mountain between Tux and Finkenberg. The “hell ride” and “heaven ride” down-hill trails hold what their names promise: Challenging north-shore obstacles featuring jumps, banked curves and wave lines, will make your bike glow. Less experienced freeriders can bypass the obstacles on the “chickenway”. The ascent is also possible by chair lift.
