This acknowledgement has created a stir of excitement among professional bike guiding teams as well as the local tourist industry, who see this honour as a reward for all their hard work. The road to success began ten years ago with the development of the region as a mountain biking haven and the creation of the necessary infrastructure for the sport.

Today, in addition to a top biking school, there are hotels specifically catering to bikers, and mountain bike rental and service stores which offer everything to guarantee the ultimate adrenalin rush. Hotels which cater for bikers can usually be found in mountain bike and touring publications, where they invariably advertise special deals.

The region has over 100 recommended routes and overall trail length of 4,330 km. This, along with an overall 100,000 metres above sea level, makes the region unique.

Additionally, the natural backdrop of the Zugspitze Mountain, Wetterstein mountain range, eight lakes and the region’s breathtaking valleys provide a special attraction for nature enthusiasts. There are also numerous exciting tours for beginners and intermediate riders. The region, which has long been THE insider tip for quality mountain biking experience, has had its status finally confirmed.
