MTB Congress Austria 2026
The Mountain bike congress 2026 in Saalbach Hinterglemm is under the motto „Effect“.
From June 09 to 11, 2026 the mountain bike industry will meet in Saalbach to discuss the future of biking, MTB trails, trail parks, tourist regions and sustainable infrastructure.
PTH is equipped with a Keynote on the topic of trail renovation and trail maintenance and a Live demo in the Bikepark Saalbach Hinterglemm and the presentation of a new device for trail building as a World premiere with us.
Why trail maintenance and trail renovation are becoming increasingly important
Mountain bike trails are now a central component of modern tourist regions. Bike parks, trail centers, lift companies and tourism associations are constantly investing in new trails, existing lines and sustainable visitor management.
But trails need maintenance. Rain, speed bumps, rutted bends, erosion, loose stones, roots and shifts in material make regular maintenance necessary. This is precisely where it is decided whether a trail can be operated safely, attractively and economically in the long term.
Traditional trail maintenance often involves a lot of manual work, material transportation, selective repairs and a great deal of time. PTH takes a different approach:
Existing material is processed directly on site.
Stones, soil, roots and existing path structures are milled, crushed, mixed and reinstalled - exactly where the material is needed.
This saves on transportation, reduces costs and creates a stable basis for the perfect finish by professional shapers.
PTH keynote & live demo at the MTB Congress 2026
At the Mountain Bike Congress 2026, PTH will be showcasing not just machines, but complete solutions for practical use.
The keynote will address key issues for trail operators, bike parks, tourism regions and lift companies:
✅ How can trail rehabilitation become more efficient?
✅ How can material transportation be reduced?
✅ How can existing material be reused directly on the trail?
✅ Which machines are suitable for which area of application?
✅ How can trail maintenance, profitability and sustainability be combined?
The Live demo in the Bikepark Saalbach Hinterglemm, where PTH shows the machines in real use - where trail maintenance actually takes place: in the field.
More efficiency in trail building
Trail maintenance is not only a technical task, but also an economic decision. Preparing existing material directly on site saves on transportation, reduces machine hours and shortens renovation times.
This means for bike parks and tourist regions:
✅ Shorter locking periods
✅ Faster restoration of trails
✅ Less external material logistics
✅ Better use of existing resources
✅ More predictable maintenance intervals
✅ More sustainable trail infrastructure
In alpine regions in particular, material transportation is often one of the biggest cost drivers. This is exactly where PTH machines come in: The material stays on the trail and is processed directly where it is needed.
Sustainable trail building through on-site material preparation
Sustainability in trail construction doesn't just mean natural lines or good drainage. Sustainability also means using existing resources intelligently.
When stones, soil and existing material are milled, crushed and mixed directly on site, the natural material base is preserved. At the same time, transport is reduced and interventions in the environment are minimized.
This is particularly relevant for:
🌲 Bike parks in the alpine region
⛰️ Trail center in sensitive landscapes
🚵 Tourist regions with high visitor frequency
🚠 Lift companies with their own network of routes
🛠️ professional trail builders and shapers
🏔️ Municipalities and tourism associations
PTH not only supplies machines, but also practical solutions that work directly in the field.
For whom is the PTH live demo at the MTB Congress particularly interesting?
The presentation and live demo of PTH is particularly aimed at:
✅ Bike park operator
✅ Trail builders and shapers
✅ Tourism associations
Lift companies
✅ Municipalities and regions
Contractors ✅ Contractors
Operators of MTB trails, hiking trails and cycle paths
✅ Decision-makers in the outdoor infrastructure sector
✅ Anyone who wants to organize trail maintenance more economically and professionally
Anyone who builds, renovates or operates trails in the long term should take a live look at the PTH solutions at the MTB Congress 2026.
