Bike Four Peaks is a four day hard attack on the Alps that takes 1,000 mountain bikers to the technical singletrack trails of the Kitzbühel Alps in June. The tough ride ascends over 8,000 vertical meters.
A very popular race, the 2016 edition will take place from June 15 to 18, 2016. This non-competitive four-day bike tour leads 1,000 cyclists in a cross-state tour of the Kitzbühel Alps that highlights Tirol’s and Salzburg’s rugged scenery. While terms like “tour” and “non-competitive” may confer an aspect of leisure upon the event, this ride is anything but easy. The route changes each year, but it always includes several rigorous climbs over steep mountain passes, and riders can expect to pedal anywhere from 48 to 59 kilometers a day.
This four-day, 207-kilometer tour climbs from Leogang’s BikePark in Salzburg Province to Saalfelden and across Biberg Mountaon on day two. Day three and four start en end in Kirchberg in Tirol, leading over challenging mountain trails. Highlights include riding the fast Lisi-Osl-Trail, the gorgeous Harlassanger Trail and Fleckalm Trail, Tirol’s longest singletrack trail that eventually takes riders to the finish.
