Looking for a change from the French Alps next year, can anyone recommend any guided riding in he German Alps? I heard Garmisch was a possible??
We have many german clients, and one thing that they seem to moan about is the lack of legal singletrack to ride and places to access....and it is also heavily policed and enforced..
So maybe guided mtb tours ith lots of singletrack may be limited...
Spent 4 days in Garmisch this summer on a mini-break. Rented a new carbon Remedy 9.7(?) for less than 40euros/day! Bought a good map of the area and went exploring... no-one had a go at me even when on footpaths (have to use them as recommended bikeroutes are invariably fireroads), in fact on rocky stuff walkers were pleasantly encouraging. Had some disbelieving looks from tourists in the town when riding for Cafe/Kuchen at the end of the day - armour on a biker not the normal attire there 😀 Love the area, but try Austria for the same culture with a more relaxed feel.
Most of the German MTBers head to the Garda Lake in Italy. Where MTBers have almost unlimited access. If you are looking at the Alps then Austria (as already said) would probably have more to offer although most of the trails there seem to be geared to touring rather than gnarr IME.
