With gentle meadows, vibrant forests and impressive mountain scenery, a gravel paradise awaits in the Bregenzerwald, Austria’s westernmost state. The hand-picked rides in this Collection combine gravel trails, quiet side roads and hidden paths, making for varied, serene adventures far from the busier routes.

You’ll ride through peaceful forests, along delightful streams and past traditional Vorsäßen, the local farms found high on the alpine pastures. Scenic ridges provide the superb scenery, while charming villages provide the culture and reveal the region’s heritage. There’s something for everyone, from challenging adventures to easygoing rides – all allow an intimate acquaintance with the Bregenzerwald.

It’s a region that’s as diverse as it is wild. Gravel riding here is a real escape into nature and a chance to feel like a part of the landscape.

Get ready to discover the hidden trails of the Bregenzerwald.
