Tirol Trails, Mayrhofen Austria
Eight Day itinerary:
Day 1 - Arrival day
Arrive at Salzburg airport and transfer to Mayrhofen in time to meet the RTW staff and settle into our guest house before the first day's riding.
Day 2 - Ride day
Your first ride in the Austrian Alps. We will take the gondola into the mountains above Mayrhofen and start the ride with an extra 3500ft. to our advantage, allowing us to make the most of the terrain on offer. We will then climb further and higher into the mountains to some of the most breathtaking scenery in the European Alps and get stuck into to the excellent singletrack. Today's ride doesn't have much climbing but the terrain is technical and challenging. It'll leave you gagging for more of Austria's off road delights.
Day 3 - Ride day
We switch to the opposite side of the valley today and head North. Tough climbs, flowing singletrack, great views of the Tirol Valley and what could be the most memorable part of the trip: Switchback City! The descent back into Mayrhofen consists of around fifty switchbacks, all different, all very narrow!
Day 4 - Day off
Relax in the local swimming baths, take a look around the local area or hop back on the gondolas for more riding or even a bit of hiking.
Day 5 - Ride day
Ride number three. We're heading South on the brand new Ahornbahn lift straight from town. There's some amazing scenery and awesome singletrack up at the top and all the way down. Don't forget your camera! Later on, gaze back up the mountain side and try and pick out the trails you've just ridden from the comfort of a bar.
Day 6 - Ride day
Ride number four. We'll take you on the best ride of the week to truly round off a holiday to remember. Up and over the top of the Penkan with fast Alpine singletrack, rocky descents and of course your daily dose of switchbacks!
Day 7 - Ride day / Day off
Your last chance to have a look round the local area with your transport pass, retrace your favourite ride or your guide can take you on a short local ride using the Penkan lift.
Day 8 - Departure day
Transfer to Salzburg airport.
