Bike Academy
Technique training &
guided tours for
all levels
Without the proper riding technique, mountain biking is a dangerous hobby. We will show you the most important skills, no gos and moves.
On our daily guided tours, you can learn mountain biking in one of Austria's most beautiful regions, improve your riding practice or take a sporty and challenging approach and really clock up the metres. After your visit, you will not only know what dips & drops are, but also master them. We’re gonna make you sweat.
The daily tours are included in the Large Stay Package!
The right tour for all levels:
You have no MTB experience? Then our beginner tours are perfect for you. The Blue Tours are our shortest and easiest tours. Especially beginners who have never ridden a mountain bike can give it a try here. But families with children also have the opportunity to join enjoyable tours without them being too demanding or taking too long. Of course, even as an experienced biker, you can join a shorter tour if you want to take it easy for a change.

The Orange "Fit for Fun" tours are intended as a transition to the Heavy Cycling tours. They have minimal technical difficulty or are low according to the description. However, compared to the Blue Tours, they involve more elevation gain, and some tours also include trail descents or offer them as an option. The difficulty of the trails is mentioned.

Are you in the mood for a particularly long ride with lots of elevation gain, great views, and relaxed descents on forest roads and streets? Then the Red Tours are made for you. The technical difficulty is lower, but the physical challenge is a bit higher.

If you enjoy rewarding yourself with a fun and challenging trail during an extensive tour, then sign up for our Black Tours. For these tours, you should feel very confident on your mountain bike and have experience riding demanding single trails.

Kids & teens can generally take part in the Fit for Fun category. Special tours for kids & teens are offered during holiday periods.

Jonas has already traveled quite a bit around the world and has set foot on every continent. In the end, however, the Berlin native found his way to beautiful Flachau. Since 2020, he has been living here and is now able to fully embrace his active lifestyle. In winter, he spends every free minute skiing, and in summer, he takes our guests on mountain bike tours. At our Loft Gym, he is your go-to person for all things about fitness.

Max is a full mountain enthusiast. As a Kuchl resident, he is a trained "woodworm". Kuchl is THE wood community in the Salzburg region. Nature is Max’s great passion. That’s why he turned his favorite hobby into a career. The dream combo for Max: In winter, he works as a ski and snowboard instructor, and in summer, he takes guests on bike tours as a certified bike guide in the Salzburger Sportwelt. A perfect match.

Dennis was born in Bad Ischl and is now a proud resident of Flachau and co-owner of a ski school. He began his professional journey with a carpentry apprenticeship in Hallstatt before earning a Bachelor's degree in Sports Science. While out biking, he met our guides—and the rest is history. You can always count on Dennis: he values punctuality, logical thinking, and says, “Sarcasm—either you get it or you don’t.” As a team member, he appreciates a fun and relaxed atmosphere at the hotel and in interactions with guests.

With Holger, the D&D Bike Hub is in the very best hands. Or rather, in the best tool cart. There's nothing that Holger can't repair, or better still, we've never experienced this in recent years. Spare parts are stockpiled as much as possible so that we never have a down day. Holger is also a licenced MTB trainer and supports the team with guiding. A real all-rounder.
The daily guided group tours are included for all hotel guests with a Medium Stay & Large Stay package.
