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 right tour for all levels:
Do you have no MTB experience? Then our beginner tours are perfect for you. Our guides will show you the basics and the right technique so that you have fun biking right from the start and know what's important.

Do you already have some experience on a bike? Are you familiar with braking techniques? Do you feel confident on a bike but have no experience on a mountain bike? In other words: gravel roads and downhill riding are not your bread and butter. Then this is the right group for you.

Do you feel confident on gravel and when riding downhill or uphill?
Bikers in good physical condition with good riding and braking technique can really clock up some metres on these tours. Altitude AND kilometres. Our guides will show you how to master steep terrain and tricky sections even more routinely.
This level focuses on challenging tours.

A "Zuagroaster" - which means: someone who is not from here. And yet this is his home. He loves the mountains and sport and so Pongau became his adopted home. He enjoys this in his free time with the love of his life who is, of course, an Austrian. Jonas usually goes on his bike tours accompanied by his beloved camera. His eye sees things that remain hidden to other observers.

Max is a full mountain enthusiast. As a Kuchl resident, he is a trained "woodworm". Kuchl is THE wood community in the Salzburg region. And because life as a woodworm isn't that exciting, Max went to Portugal to work in customer support for BOSE Soundtechnik. But the mountains were missing there, so Max's passion for sport brought him to us in the mountains. A dream combination: ski and snowboard instructor in winter and a qualified bike guide in the Salzburger Sportwelt with guests on bike tours in summer - that's what Max does.

Dennis was born in Bad Ischl and is now an electorI and ski school co-owner. He started his professional career with an apprenticeship as a carpenter in Hallstatt, before going on to complete a Bachelor's degree in sports science. He met our guides while biking and signed up. You can rely on Dennis. He likes punctuality, appreciates logical thinking and says: "You have to understand sarcasm.” As an employee, he appreciates the fun and relaxed atmosphere in the hotel and when dealing 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. Each guided tour consists of a maximum of 10 participants.
