Important information
The degree of difficulty, as far as mountain biking is concerned, is always -the sum of it all-. This sum is calculated using issues like technique, condition, length of the track, (alpine) height, difference in altitude, and, of course, atmospheric conditions.
Seasons:
Mountain bike tours depend on the atmospheric conditions and the snow. The local information offices (see detailed pages of the tours) will be pleased to give you all the information on the actual weather conditions. At higher altitudes, mountain bike tours are usually only possible during summer months.
Weather:
Mountain tours with your mountain bike should always be organized with the changeable weather conditions in mind. Always take extra clothes for protection in case of meteorological changes..
