Hohe Salve MTB paradise

Last June, we went mountain biking in the heart of this cycling paradise, enjoying the 360° panorama between Hohe Salve, Kitzbühel Alps, Wilder Kaiser, and Steinberge. Anyone who gets on a bike here will not only find epic trails under their tires, but also an impressive natural panorama.
