[Closed] Islabike Bheinn 20" - Overbiked for the Alps? (Saalbach)

Done some nice rides with the kids this year, and finally we're off to the Alps for a week in summer. Booked the hotel in Saalbach and looking for recommendations/enthusiasm.

The kids are still wee (7&9). The big one is reasonably good uphill and the little one is ok uphill and quite good downhill. I'm not convinced they'll be much cop at the 1200hm descents on the lift served rides so we're looking for some semi tech cross country to keep them amused.

Any recommendations?

Also, coming back to the thread title, anyone know if you can hire full bouncers for kids that small?

cheers

PS. does the big 5 really take 6 hours? Was vaguely thinking the wee un might like a bit of that if I can hire him a bike. Maybe a big 2, or a big 3 perhaps.
