There are many trails in Saalbach Hinterglemm, but the Hacklbergtrail is for many the fixed point in the bike summer. It combines panorama with flow, offers length, altitude and that feeling when a descent is really smooth. If you only want to ride one trail that sounds like Saalbach Hinterglemm, take this one.

You start relaxed directly at the hotel and ride along the promenade to Saalbach to the Schattbergbahn. The cable car takes you to the eastern summit. From there, it’s another 130 meters up to the western summit. It’s worth it, because the view really opens up at the top.

The long descent begins from the western summit: around 1,000 meters in altitude and around 10 kilometers of downhill trail fun. The Hacklberg Trail runs through the mountain landscape and ends in the Buchegg Trail. It is precisely this combination that makes it so strong, because it provides variety and still remains flowing.

After the end of the Buchegg Trail, the perfect summer extra awaits: around 200 meters to the right is the Gerstreit reservoir. Ideal for chilling out, dipping your feet in, cooling off and calming down again. On hot days, this is exactly the moment that makes the day special.

You then head down into the valley via the Gerstreitalm towards Hinterglemm. A nice line for the finish, because it takes the pressure off your legs and lets the day come to a clean end.

If you want to reward yourself with culinary delights, the Hacklbergalm is a must. The homemade desserts are particularly recommended. Just the thing after 1,000 meters of altitude.

Back at the Rosentalerhof, it’s the bike ‘s turn first: it gets the dust off in our washing facility, small checks are quickly carried out on the assembly stand and equipment is made ready to go again in the drying boxes. Then the rest is yours: in the mountain spa awaits you with warmth, peace and quiet and the moment when your legs feel light again. And dreaming of the next trail? Our tips would be: Either the Z-Line or the Hochalm Trail.
