General info
The former cultural capital Graz is surrounded by numerous and varied trails. This makes it ideal to book accommodation in the vibrant part of the city and then head out on your mountain bike. Whether towards Schöckl or Plabutsch: On many different trails we refine your riding technique. Flowing, easy trails offer us just as much practice terrain as more challenging descents. The variety makes it!
The evening program is flexible: we will test ourselves from one restaurant to the next and will gladly include the cultural highlights Graz has to offer in our after-ride program.
