July - Peak holiday season for the next two months, check out a few photos of our guests enjoying the Alpine mountain biking. We've added a Technical XC, Freeride/DH album as well, for the folks that want the full Alpine trip.
June - With the pound against the euro peaking at 1.23 in June, there are some great savings to be had on our mtb holidays. As our mtb holiday prices are all in euros this can only be good for Brits coming over to Austria.
May - Whether you would prefer a catered mountain biking holiday or a self catered mountain biking trip. Both holidays include guiding. More details on the improved holiday prices page. Either way, breakfast is included in the price, with homemade yoghurt and jams, local cheeses and meats and fresh bread from the bakery.
April - The UCI Downhill and 4X World Cup circuit comes to our neck of the woods! Set for the 18th to 20th June. Combine your own mountain biking by taking a day out to watch the best mountain bikers in the World compete.
March - Just announced, great group holiday booking deals. Get four of your mountain biking friends together and one of the four goes half price. Get six bikers and one of the mountain biking group goes completely FREE.
February - Snow, glorious snow. Much skiing and tobogganing action to share with our holiday guests. Fancy trying our local 4.5km toboggan run, at night, after a few schnapps around a roaring fire? Check out our holiday blog - the guides ramblings for our latest news.
January - To our past, present and future holiday guests, happy new year! As always, we have new blog posts and photos from our mountain biking and winter holiday guests available in the holiday guest gallery. Also we've updated the holiday weekly agenda page to show you how we can tailor the mountain biking to your liking.
December - Winter in the alps is almost as good as the summer in the alps. So instead of flying down the mountains on the bike, our holiday guests and ourselves will be indulging in alpine skiing, touring and maybe a little cross country. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from everyone here at the farm.
November - The first snow has fallen, covering our mountain bike trails but filling us with excitement for the coming season. Cheap self catering holidays still available.
October - The mountain biking season is relatively long over here in Austria for an Alps holiday. So if you want to get your last fix of riding in the Alps, we are offering a 10% low season saving. All details can be found on the holidays booking and prices page.
September - Our new style photo gallery for our holiday guests and a site refresh with loads more mountain bike pictures and useful tips to help you around our site.
August - When we are in the peak of our mountain biking season then most of our time is out on the bikes. The majority of changes to our site are on the Guides Ramblings, our blog for all the latest happens from Austria.
July - Busy times as our guests arrive to enjoy the summer. Plenty of riding, loads of eating and drinking. We've had a good mixture of mountain bikers so far, from beginners to seasoned technical XC and freeriders. Each week we've happily tailored the riding to the wants of our holiday group.
June - A mtb video helps show our guests the variety of routes that we have to choose from. Check out the gallery where the mountain bike videos can be found.
May - We are excited to announce our new mountain biking holidays prices. Two choices for our mountain biking guests with (what we believe are) unrivalled group discounts. Early feedback about these mtb holidays has been very positive.
April - Holiday season is generally quieter this month, which allows us to get our fitness back up for the mountain biking season. Mountain biking this early is all about choosing low altitude rides and checking and clearing our routes.
March - We wanted to make it easier for our holiday guests to find cheap flights over to Austria for their mountain bike holidays so we put together our travelling page. There are some great deals to be found. Remember to check the small print for bringing out your own mountain bikes. Bike hire is available as an alternative for our holiday guests.
February - For those that want the inside details of what we are up to, we've set up a twitter account @MTB_Keith so you can see up to date photos and snippets of news and holiday guests as they happen. Only a few more weeks before we'll be out on our mountain bikes again!
January - We've had so much interest about our winter holidays that we've produced a site specifically for our skiing and snowboarding holidays. Winter holidays with UpandDownhill. Also, we've had our fleet of Intense bikes delivered for the mountain biking season. Spider FROs and a 29er. Let us know if you want to hire an Intense mountain bike with more rear suspension and we'll get it in for your holiday, maybe the Tracer VP?
