New trails and autumn dates: Harvest festival in the Bikepark Saalfelden Leogang

Bike park manager Berrie van de Kolk has been working hard to get the last two new lines ready for 2025. Now the time has come: "T-Line" and "Back to the Roots" have been rolled out and can be ridden with cable car support until 9 November. After that, the lifts will be closed, but if there is still no snow, you can continue shredding on some of the lines.
And these are the two new additions
T-Line
- Length: 1.3 kilometres
- Downhill: 191 metres in depth
- Difficulty: Medium
The course: The sporty freeride line starts near the "Speedster" and leads down to the Asitzbahn. In between, scooters and sharkfins provide the best entertainment. The highlight: a 7-metre table. Could be a brother of the "Flying Gangster". Only more massive.
Back to the roots
- Length: 1.3 kilometres
- Downhill: 125 metres in depth
- Difficulty: Difficult
Some say old-school freeride, others send prayers to the heavens: "Thank you for pure nature!" The fact is: you need nerves of steel on this descent. There are crisp jumps, the steepest sections, fat berms and once you've mastered the rock drop, you won't be able to get the grin off your face. You can then release your braking fingers again in the seamlessly following Hangman II.
There is also an appropriately festive setting for your first ride on the two new trails - and directly with the latest bike technology:
BIKE Festival Saalfelden Leogang
Date: 12-14 September 2025
The big end-of-season party with a big crowd: David Trummerthe former Austrian downhill champion and runner-up at the World Championships in Leogang has announced that he will be offering a ride-out on the "Speedster" World Cup track.
Slopestyle pro Lukas Knopf invites you to the Expert-Only on the "Hot Shots Fired by GoPro Line", Marlena Neißl will be offering a downhill session for women and Elias Schwärzler is travelling as part of his "Senders Academy" to offer a Gambler Ride Out on brand new Scott bikes.
And hooray: especially on the festival days, the day tickets for the cable cars are 10 per cent cheaper!
