Sport Camp Director & Guide
BERNHARD
Sports Camp Director
Favourite tour: Sattelbauer
BERNHARD loves all kinds of sports and therefore he is just at the right place here in our Tauernhof. He knows all the biketracks and mountains around flachau and loves to make sports with the kids in our camp. In the afternoon you will find him outdoors at the beach volleyball place - always ready for a match. He is your contact person for questions all- around biking and techniques. He is responsible for our FOCUS testbikes and is the right guy for all heavy cycling tours.
Our guides
PHILIPP
Mountain- & Roadbikeguide
Summer or winter - he is always on tour- guiding vacationists. He is skiing of course… and in summer he is on the road- or mountainbike. He is from Lungau and he is single, but no girl from his region has taken his heart so far. Maybe he is going to find a nice girl around here!
KARIN
Sport- & Bikeguide
The desk was too boring for her- therefore she started to comb with her bike through Salzburgs woods. She is willing to show you the best trips in our region- together with Bernhard and Luki,!

Roadbikeguide
Favourite tour: Hochkönigrunde
Philipp grew up in Tauern and took in Alpine sports with his mother’s milk, so to speak. He is a trained bike guide and certified hiking guide. His racing bike is his elixir. He is a full-blooded biker, a passionate mountaineer and a professional outdoorsman. His manner as a guide is guaranteed to impress everyone.
What's it all about? A few snippets from our programme.
Two basic rules for turns:
Always look into the turn, never look out. Brake in good time before the turn
The uphill technique:
The right uphill gear is the prerequisite for constant pedal pressure and an equally high pedal frequency. The steeper the incline, the further you shift your centre of gravity forwards. Shifting forward on the saddle and lowering your upper body keeps the front wheel on the ground.
Look around regularly to avoid straining your neck muscles.
The downhill technique:
Stand up in the pedals to help you absorb impact better. Keep your arms at an angle to your body for better steering and absorption of impact. Position your index and middle fingers on the brake levers. The steeper the decline, the more you should shift your position back.
The bike technique training takes place every Sunday (subject to change).
