Anyone been there?

Thinking of going to Austria, around the Westendorf area with some mates in august... and was wondering if anyone had been there before? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot :D .

    We live just around the corner (actually over one mountain) and use the same lift system that Westendorf is part of. We're based at our farm in Ellmau and run our Up and Downhill mountain biking holidays from here.

    Check out http://www.upanddownhill.com

    We have great trails out here and a bike park nearby. The best bit is we've recently announced our new group discounts. A group of 4 and one goes half price, whilst a group of six and one goes free!

    If you have any further questions just shout..

    cheers

    I went to St Johann in 2005, i wasn't with a guiding company and could have done with it really as i struggled to find much singletrack. Also it rained for 10 out of the 14 days thta i was there :roll: .

    Try these guys for guiding around the kitzbuhel area http://www.mountainedge.co.uk/

    Cheers :) hope you enjoy the Tyrol!

    Make sure they take you down the Ehrenbach Trail, if you're into steep rooty descents and some rock gardens. Definitely not for beginners but great fun on the right sort of bike.
