Mountain biking across three countries, three cultures and three cuisines: on a mountain biking holiday in Nauders – Reschensee, you’ll find yourself straddling the borders of Tyrol, South Tyrol and the Swiss Engadin. Glaciers, mountains and lakes form the stunning backdrop in this tri-border region, which is not without reason considered one of the most impressive enduro areas in the Alps.

Here, you can ride through root-covered forest trails in Austria in the morning, enjoy an espresso in Switzerland at lunchtime, and round off the day with a South Tyrolean Brettljause – a true three-country experience. Lake Reschen, Lake Schwarzsee, Lake Grünsee and Lake Haidersee feature on almost every tour.
