Biking vacations for families with children
A biking vacation in Austria is the perfect opportunity to be active together as a family and enjoy nature. Longer routes can be mastered effortlessly on an e-bike, so that even less experienced riders can keep up. Many regions offer flat valley cycle paths, themed routes or guided family tours with rest stops and mountain huts. Those looking for a little more action will also find specially marked beginner trails, practice lines and pump tracks for little explorers in numerous bike parks. The focus is always on safety and fun - from bike hire and technique training to child-friendly infrastructure.
Special treats include the Reiteralm Junior Trails in the Schladming-Dachstein region, where the local rental shop also offers balance bikes for the youngest. Or the Learn-to-Ride Park in Saalbach at the Kohlmaisbahn. It can be used free of charge and a conveyor belt takes bikers back to the start of the trails. Directly at the valley station of the Kreischbergbahn and just a few meters from the ALPS RESORTS on the Kreischberg, there is a pump track that is also freely accessible. The Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis family region offers a huge range of MTB routes, single trails and cycle paths - for young and old. In the bike park at the Waldbahn valley station, every age (and ability level) will find the right terrain: there is a kids' park, a training area, jumping bag and a pump track.
Bike experiences for everyone - from the Kids Park to the Pro Line
Mountain bike and downhill fans won't miss out on their family vacation either. While the children make their first attempts at riding in the kids' bike park, take on the bends in the pump track or playfully explore trails, experienced parents can ride more challenging routes nearby. Many bike regions offer trails for adults and children. Many ALPS RESORTS offer enough space for the whole family, secure storage facilities for bikes and private wellness areas to relax in after an active day. The choice ranges from cozy vacation apartments to spacious chalets not far from the nearest cycle paths or trails. This makes a biking vacation a varied nature experience for all generations - whether leisurely, sporty or with plenty of adrenaline.

Biking vacations in Austria are not just a summer experience. In Schladming-Dachstein, you can also stay active in the cold season.

Fat biking combines technique, experiencing nature and exercise to create a winter adventure off the beaten track.
The guided fat bike tours start in Schladming and Ramsau. In the Schladming-Dachstein region, you are perfectly located - for example in the Alpenrock Schladming, the Villa Liesl or the Alpenchalets Reiteralm.
