It feels like summer has barely begun when you read in the headline: "Season finale". Bitter, but unfortunately true - welcome to Central Europe! The good news is that you can still look forward to the September weekend - for 4 reasons at once BIKE Festival Saalfelden Leogang.
1st weather opportunity 2025
After last year's bad weather caper, the signs are good that the weather will be in our favour this time. Especially after the miserable July, we are forecasting a powerful late summer. We can't guarantee it, but somehow we're pretty sure ;-)
2. trail proximity
No other festival is located directly at the foot of a bike park with such a diverse range of trails as here in Leogang. There are several routes for flow fans, single trail hunters, stunt freeriders and downhillers. A must for downhill fans: the original UCI downhill route.
3. new routes
Just in time for the BIKE Festival, Bikepark Leogang is presenting new lines. The "Hangman I" now offers several alternative lines from the mountain station. For single trail fans, there is a new, natural but challenging black trail (approx. 1.3 km, 300 metres in altitude). Stunt freeriders can look forward to the brand new "T-Line" jumpline, a kind of Flying Gangster on Steroids! More sharkfins, more airtime, more massive table jumps. Stay tuned.
4th festival experience
As always, the focus at the 6th BIKE Festival Saalfelden Leogang is on experiences on and off the bike: workshops such as the BIKE Academy, "Ride with the Pros", suspension tips from the BIKE test editors or simply shooting with Lukas Knopf or Jasper Jauch. So mark the date in your diary in red - and don't forget to eat your plate full. Then the weather will be fine too!
Tick red in your calendar now!
