The BIG-5-BIKE Challenge –

A CHALLENGE for ALL Freeriders

The tour bikers and Freeriders get a special kick this coming summer at the NEW BIG-5-BIKE Challenge: Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang have offered the 5-Gondel Tour alias BIG-5-BIKE Challenge for years as a special and unique highlight for the biker scene: there are 5,000 meters in altitude to master with 1,000 meters uphill and the remainder downhill. There are five different lifts with special bike cabins, at disposal for the “Challengers”, in order to carry up their bikes and tired bodies carefully and above all save sweating up the mountains. In the end it means delightfully attacking the narrow trails (80%) and gravel paths (20%) back to the valley.

 




 

The BIG-5-BIKE Challenge has been enhanced for this summer with some technical features: Numerous checkpoints and snapshot stations lead you through the imposing mountainous world of the Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang region. And then when you are at home you have the possibility to view your tour virtually in your living room by printing the pdf and immortalise yourself in the “Challengers” Hall of Fame.

Therefore, it is best to begin your endurance training now in order to conquer the Challenge.
