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.
The Isskogel trails in the Zillertal are five combinable singletrails of all difficulty levels. While Iss Flow is the same thing, Iss Natural, Tough and Vertical roots have jumps and drops in the program. In the case of the vertical, you can also look forward to hair-raising steep runs. Such a wide selection…
With the Velill Trail in the Mountain Bike Arena Ischgl-Paznaun a real treat awaits you. On nine kilometers of pure downhill fun awaits everything from flowigen residents over steep switchbacks to blocked rock passage on you and your bike. On the singletrack scale this trail is classified as S3.
If you…

If there was an award for the trail with the best views, the Carezza Trail would be guaranteed to be one of the top favorites. 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 the Rettenbachtrail a bit more attention is required, which is…
The Sun Trail is a popular flowtrail for beginners and advanced skiers in the Kitzbühel Alps. Flow alternates with a few small technical root passages, but gives the trail a total of one S1 on the single track scale - so not too difficult.
You can either extend the trail for a short pleasure trip by conquering…
The Cir Trail in Val Gardena is a wonderfully steep flow trail with several lines. The few vertical meters to the trail entrance you can pedal either relaxed and while you look at the trail before, or you take the cable car, which brings you directly to the summit.
Downstream are flowy riparians and a…
The Kaiserjägertrail in Lagorai / Trentino is a classic for all cross-country mountain bikers. This tour is definitely not just about the descent, but also about the crisp climb - and the spectacular views that reward you time and again with your efforts.
The Kaiserjägertrail is actually technically a…
The Mex Line 1 is a family-friendly flow trail in Nassfeld. It is aimed at beginners as well as experienced bikers who are looking for a round of "head out, flow on." At Mex Line, there are no technical refinements or jumps waiting for you to surf down to the valley on your bike just enjoying the turns…
The Dolomites are already worth one or more trips, but with the Trail N ° 15 they are a must for every mountain biker. 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…
The Frommestrail, with its starting point at 2,500 meters above sea level, is one of those dream trails that offer endless views of the surrounding Alpine landscape, flowingly and relaxed along mountain ridges and fully develop their technical potential only after an extended break - in phase Tree line…
The Plamort Trail is a historic trail that passes by old bunkers and tank barriers from the First World War. Here, the state border between Italy and Austria runs - no wonder that it used to be different here in the past.
We have planned this tour to the Plamort Trail Tour from Nauders, from where you…
The Matzalm Trail is something for nature lovers - also in the trail technical sense. The trail unfolds its beauty at first not by immaculate residents and even ground, but just by the opposite. Root beds, stone steps, moss and steep, earthy slopes prepare technically versed mountain bikers a varied…
The Hacklbergtrail is one of the classics among MTB trails in the Alps. Flowig and with fantastic views, the first section up to the Hacklbergalm runs through the high alpine landscape of the Schattberg and makes both beginners and experienced mountain bikers beat their hearts beat faster.
The second…
These two trails are for nature lovers. You reach the entry into the Rossalm hut trail either by gondola, or you follow our tour and enjoy the beautiful nature at startup. Thus, the trail round extends to a pleasant day trip (with breaks on the many beautiful huts).
After the first driveway you have the…
