Have you planned your summer yet? Maybe a beach holiday in Thailand or perhaps a cultural trip to Portugal? We're concerned that you, unfortunately, might not make it further than the Alps this year. So, we’ve put together an ultimate plan for a fulfilled summer biking. Here are 28 hand-picked signature trails, stretching from Italy to Slovenia via Austria, waiting for you and your mountain bike.

From flowing beginner trails for the whole family to technical full-throttle tracks that were part of the Enduro World Series (EWS), you can look forward to a colourful variety that will make you pine after the mountains. You'll find well-known trail legends, crisp Wadenbeißer routes in the Dolomites, the longest flow trail in the Alps (11 km/6.8 miles!) and hidden MTB jewels in unusual places.

For all trails, we recommend a fully-functional mountain bike and protective equipment (helmet, knee pads, back protector/backpack, elbow pads). Whether you want to ride the trails with a hardtail or fully is up to you. For the more difficult trails, however, we recommend a bike with more suspension. You can also rent a good mountain bike to match the local terrain when you are there.

Most trails can be easily reached by train or car and there is plenty of accommodation. However, you should book in advance, especially during the popular holiday periods in Germany, Austria and Italy. We wish you lots of fun discovering!

Brand new this year: The Signature Trails Collection! It's called RIDE - COLLECT - WIN. Go on a scavenger hunt through the most beautiful bike regions of the Alps with the Signature Trails Collection. Experience nature trails, flow trails and shaped lines and collect valuable points. As if these trails weren't reward enough, great prizes await you in the end.

With his view of the world-famous rose garden massif, he alone is worth a drive. In addition, however, to our delight a fantastic, not too heavy singletrack, which brings a lot

    This Signature Trail is a combination of three trails that together make for the perfect single trail descent. At the beginning, it's off to a relaxed start with the Bartiges Bödele Trail, which flows peacefully through the countryside.

On seven and a half kilometers, the trail meanders along a ridge, sometimes it plunges with you into the valley. It is always flowig on the typical alpine scree, which you may already

    The Weißenseetrail is a relatively short, but all the more beautiful nature trail, can be combined with the driveway to Naggler Alm for a pretty half-day tour. It is ideal for beginners who also want to try something other than pure flowtrails (although the trail has more than enough!). And 3.3 kilometers

    The Blindseetrail is a piece of Lake Garda in the Northern Alps. It is certainly one of the most beautiful runs of the entire Tyrolean Zugspitzarena. After a small climb, it's only over boulders and downhill along the slope, then later over root fields and in a steady ups and downs on Blindsee along

    The Herrnsteig Trail earned the title Signature Trail for historical reasons alone. It is the oldest built freeride trail in the Alps - and has it all in itself. Over 1,300 meters of depth are waiting to get you into the mountain bike heaven. In addition, the trail also has several variants that make

    Dear Trailsüchtige, strapped on, because this tour has it all: You do not have to pedal the 2,100 vertical meters completely (a gondola ride with Europe's steepest funicular takes you about 800 of them), but the remaining 1,300 - and especially the 1,800 Depth meters challenging terrain - will demand
