Mountain biking in autumn in Saalbach: trails, sauna, and relaxation at Hotel Sonnleiten
Autumn at the AlpenParks Hotel Sonnleiten: trails, private sauna, and perfect biking conditions
When things quiet down in the Gelmmtal valley, Saalbach enters what is perhaps the best time of year for anyone who loves biking – making autumn a real insider tip for anyone who wants to combine mountain biking with comfort and privacy. The AlpenParks Hotel & Apartment Sonnleiten offers the ideal starting point for this – with direct access to the trails, apartments with their own sauna, and a wealth of expertise on all things biking.
The perfect base for fall bikers
Our spacious apartments with their own saunas are not only the ideal retreat after an active day in the mountains—they are also a real upgrade for anyone who wants to relax in style after a day of biking, rather than in a cramped hotel room. Put your feet up, enjoy the steam in the sauna, perhaps with a glass of red wine, and watch the sun set over Saalbach-Hinterglemm.
Still open? Of course! – Thanks to the Saalbach Summer JOKER CARD
The biking paradise of Saalbach stays active in fall too. With the JOKER CARD, which is included with us, you can use many lifts (some until mid-October) for free or get great discounts on bike tickets. That means: more altitude, less effort, and maximum trail enjoyment on the legendary lines around Kohlmais, Schattberg, and more. Tip: Hacklberg Trail – one of the best in the world!
Gravel & Gold: Cycling away from the crowds
Autumn is also gravel season. Those who like to get out of the “pure downhill world” will find endless opportunities for extended gravel bike tours around Saalbach – through colorful forests, along sunny forest roads and past cozy alpine huts, or a tour around Lake Zell.

Saalbach: Bike DNA for decades
Saalbach is synonymous with mountain biking like no other place in Austria. This is evident not only in the perfectly maintained trails and well-designed lift system, but also in the people here.
Our family, for example, has been infected with bike fever since the early days – our sons were there from the start when it came to building the first lines, exploring trails, or getting young talent on bikes. Vali Höll, now a world-class athlete, often rode with our boys as a child – together they cycled through the woods, tried their first jumps, and did what makes Saalbach so special: feeling free, being outdoors, having fun. And when you see Fabio Wibmer on the trails or filming in the region today, you know that the bike DNA lives on – in every wheelie, every drop, every moment of flow.
