Thanks Roter Stern. I will definitely look into Mayerhofen. Strangely it hadn’t really come up in many of my searches looking into mountain biking in Austria, though I’m familiar with the name from skiing scene.
To be honest, I’m not really into the downhill side of things, more into longish singletrack trails, though I don’t shy away from a few drops and berms. Sounds like my cup of tea then.
So is the general consensus that Mayerhofen is better than Kitzbuhel for marked trails?
I also heard good things about Ischgl (Hans Rey’s territory apparently!), though it’s a little far from Brixlegg and there are no cheap hostels that I could find online.
