AI generated translation
AI-generated translation refers to the process of using artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning models, to automatically translate text or speech from one language to another. These systems, such as neural machine translation models, analyze large datasets of multilingual content to learn patterns and associations between languages. The generated translations are based on statistical probabilities and context learned during training.

The offering around the KAT-Bike is something we have experienced ourselves several times in recent years. The Kitzbüheler Alps Trail Series offers cyclists and hikers a great opportunity to discover the region's spectacular landscape from the Brixental to the Pillersee in all its variety.

Now the popular series around the KAT Bike is being expanded with three new, leisure-focused formats: a KAT Bike star (hub-and-spoke) tour with fixed accommodation as well as the KAT Bike light multi-day tours offered as 6- and 7-day options. This makes the program more geared to different needs - from a base holiday to a relaxed valley route. Additionally, existing variants such as KAT Bike E-njoy and KAT Bike Sport+ remain in the portfolio.

KAT Bike Star Cycling Tour

On the new hub-and-spoke cycling tour, a single accommodation serves as a base from which different circular rides set off each day. This allows you to explore the region in a varied way without changing lodgings every day.
Depending on your appetite and fitness, the daily circuits range from leisurely routes in the valley to scenic tours and more demanding mountain-bike rides.

KAT Bike light 6-day tour

The KAT Bike light route runs close to the valley floor through Hohe Salve, the Pillersee Valley, St. Johann in Tirol and the Brixental in six days.
In total about 226 kilometres and roughly 1,800 metres of ascent are on the programme. The character remains clearly relaxed: predominantly cycle paths and quiet side roads, often along rivers and without any major climbs.

KAT Bike light 7-day tour

The 7-day option maintains the same route character and regions, but spreads the distance over shorter daily stages. This is intended primarily to suit those who prefer to travel with more time—such as recreational cyclists or families.
The difference from the 6-day tour therefore does not lie in the basic concept, but mainly in the stage length: routes close to the valley, well developed and with a focus on relaxed cycling.

Package deals, orientation and on-site service

All new offers can be booked as package deals and combine the tours with organisational services. These include selected, bike-friendly accommodations — depending on the package with half-board or breakfast — as well as luggage transport for one piece of luggage up to a maximum of 15 kilograms per person.
For orientation, information and map material including a dedicated KAT Bike map are provided; signage along the routes also helps. Depending on the rider's needs, the routes can be ridden with a mountain bike or an e‑mountain bike; hardtails are also mentioned as a suitable option.
Those arriving without their own bike will find rental and service providers in the region. For breakdowns outside opening hours, the organiser refers to so-called "Schlauchomaten" that stock bicycle inner tubes.

Getting there and getting around

A focus is also on getting there without a car. With the Kitzbüheler Alpen Card (available from your accommodation or digitally in advance), since the 2025/26 winter season train travel in the region has been included as a benefit on selected ÖBB regional and InterRegio trains between Wörgl and Hochfilzen; IC, EC and Railjet trains are excluded.
Depending on the region, station shuttles to the accommodation and back can be used free of charge. Additionally, new InterRegio connections are available from the 2025/26 timetable change, for example via the Graz–Innsbruck axis and from Klagenfurt (with a transfer), to make travel to Tyrol easier.
