The recipe to turn a simple mountain bike ride into a real adventure is simple. The ingredients: A weekend, a mountain hut and of course your bike. In the Alps, there is an almost infinite number of mountain huts that invite you to leave your everyday life behind and relax in the midst of wonderful nature. And all it takes is a short trip with one overnight stay to clear your head and to enjoy a real adventure.
Our rides are designed in such a way that a rather relaxed first day awaits you. This way you can arrive without stress, get warm and relax in the evening. On the second day, things get a little more serious with a several-hours-long day trip ahead of you. Both days are combined in one ride - everything can be done well over two days.
We have chosen all our rides so that they will take you to great places in the middle of nature, but they will never overtax you. You don't need to be a mountain specialist to get your money's worth and you don't need any special bikepacking equipment. We have chosen mountain huts that are fully equipped and offer everything you need for an overnight stay. Nevertheless, the cabins are rustic and partly equipped with simple but cosy mattress beds. Pure mountain adventures, but with an enjoyable and stress-free character so that you can fully enjoy your weekend.
Even if the adventure only lasts for two days, a little preparation is essential. After all, you are partly on the road in high Alpine terrain. Be sure to bring the essentials, such as weatherproof, warm clothing.
Alpine terrain also means that the season starts when the snow has melted. Most cabins open in April or May. It is especially important that you register with the huts so that you don't stand in front of closed doors. Also, ensure you take enough to drink and pack some snacks for the time in between meals. You will pass huts or snack stations again and again, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Now, that's enough planning. A wonderful, adventurous weekend in the mountains awaits!
