Hello the bikes! Glemmride 2025 Salzburg’s legendary (if not the most legendary) bike festival – only real, with Masters of Dirt Show, downhill races and fresh bands – is back and the long wait is finally over. But what does a day at the Glemmride look like? A good friend would describe the classic Glemmride moment for you like this:

A murmur runs through the gathered crowd, but not a sound can be heard. At this moment, everything seems frozen: hardly anyone moves, the tension holds them all captive for the moment, while the next daredevil athlete whirls through the air on her bike in front of them. She hangs upside down for an eternal second, then everything happens very quickly: the bikes find solid ground, the athlete jubilantly stretches her arms in the air and the crowd awakens from the moment of collective breath-holding and once again becomes the loud, cheering mass that you are used to at Glemmride. Awesome! If you like cycling and adrenaline kicks, you’ll be right at home here: welcome to the Glemmride 2025.

Glemmride? Only real with our atypical Glemm-Guide!

If this atmospheric description has elicited an abrupt: ‘Hell yes!’, we have collected the hard facts for you here once again:

• When? At the beginning of july, the Glemmtal will be transformed into Austria’s bike hotspot and thus a meeting point for all adrenaline junkies and downhill lovers. Glemmride 2025 takes place from 9th of july to 13th of july.
• What? Nothing more and nothing less than the ride event of your life – even if you’re ‘only’ sitting in the grandstand. Glemmride is one of THE events in Saalbach and offers spectacular shows and races as well as plenty of fresh tunes and unique experiences. Have you ever got up close and personal with an exceptional athlete? Then let’s get going!
• Why? Because the region, with its many hundreds of kilometres of bike and mountain bike trails, is predestined to bring together those people who feel at home on the trails and jumps of this world and, of course, for fans, spectators and atypical party heroes. So counter-question: Why the hell not?
• How? Easy peasy and, above all, free! Admission is free, but you should organise your accommodation in good time and we have a suggestion for you. Completely uninhibited: How about a super-casual room with us at the Dorfhotel Glücksschmiede? Fix untypical! Fix a good time!

After the ride is before the ride!
Let’s be honest, after a day full of adrenaline, holding your breath and breathing a sigh of relief, cheering and dusting off second-hand highs, it can take a while to get some rest in the evening. Falling asleep is often out of the question for hours. My atypical tip? Simply don’t go to sleep at all and instead check out the musical programme at Glemmride and turn night into day. Variety is guaranteed, as there are DJs as well as rock, reggae and punk bands performing their tunes and creating at least as much of an atmosphere as the rest of the events!

So, book now for an atypical good time at and around Glemmride 2025!
