Mountain Biking on the Arlberg — Trails, Location and Conditions
The Arlberg links Tirol and Vorarlberg — and in summer it is a varied riding region with around 220 km of marked routes in St. Anton and roughly 200 km across the wider Arlberg network. With the Burgwald Bike Trail (Lech) as Vorarlberg’s first official freeride and enduro trail, plus bike transport on the Rendlbahn and Galzigbahn lifts, the infrastructure is clearly built for biking.
The riding areas at a glance
- St. Anton am Arlberg: 220 km of marked trail network, bike transport on the Rendlbahn and Galzigbahn — relaxed valley routes, moderate tours and sporty descents
- Lech am Arlberg: the Burgwald Bike Trail, Vorarlberg’s first official freeride and enduro trail, starting at the Lech-Oberlech cable car — various difficulty levels
- Arlberg network: around 200 km of trails across the wider network of Stuben, St. Christoph and Zürs
- Season: best conditions from late June to early October
What suits you?
- Trail and flow fans: the Burgwald Bike Trail in Lech with its freeride and enduro character, plus the more demanding lift-served descents in St. Anton — a great range for ambitious coaching days
- E-bike leisure riders: the Arlberg is an e-bike paradise thanks to its high-alpine setting — moderate climbs on forest roads to mountain restaurants and alpine huts, plus bike-wash and service stations throughout at the mountain lifts
- Beginners and families: the marked valley routes and the bike-transport options make the Arlberg very beginner-friendly despite the alpine altitude
With the Klostertal, Paznaun and the upper Inn Valley right next door, we can flexibly switch our trail days — and the Arlberg itself often has different weather from the southern or northern side of the range.
