Project description: Bikepark Bergheim
In Bergheim near Salzburg, an extraordinary project has emerged in recent months: a previously unused, flat meadow in an urban area has been transformed into a versatile skill center that combines mountain biking, action, and inclusion: the Bergheim Bike Park.
From a flat meadow to a unique feature with lots of elevation!
The client, the Bergheim Tourism Association (TVB), initially had the idea of enlivening the area with small hills and a skills center. However, the desire to create even more action and uniqueness quickly arose. Together, we developed the vision of turning the site into a truly unique feature for the region:
Instead of small hills, a raised hill approximately 9 meters high was created, from which approximately 90 meters of trails descend in both directions. Thus, what was initially a small idea became a large-scale project. The Bergheim Bike Park is becoming a meeting place with seemingly endless opportunities for biking, making friends, and improving for all generations and levels.
Our services in the project
To make this vision a reality, ALLEGRA Trails Austria, under the project management of Luca Schneider, provided the following services for the implementation of the Bergheim Bike Park:
- Idea planning for the overall concept
- Implementation and submission planning
- Creation of the Specifications for the tender
- Contact person in the procurement procedure
- Construction supervision during implementation
- The construction on site was carried out by our partner company dirtways.
Diversity for every target group
The Bergheim Bike Park is designed to offer something for all ages and skill levels. From balance bike riders to beginners to advanced mountain bikers – everyone will find something they like here.
The unique bike park is perfectly embedded, in addition to the flow trails that start from the approximately 9 meter high hill, there is:
- a large pump track
- a separate children's pump track for the little ones
- Jumplines in different difficulty levels
- Wallrides, Northshore elements and wooden structures
- a rock garden for technical driving
The facility offers a unique combination of bike playground, training area, and action – right next to the existing sports facilities with swimming pool, tennis courts, and soccer fields.
Special features & challenges
Particular attention was paid to inclusion and accessibility. The surrounding trail, the green trail, and the small pump track are designed to be wheelchair accessible. This innovative concept also impressed funding agencies: The project was supported and co-financed through Leader funding. Small challenges were overcome with well-thought-out solutions: For example, measures were implemented to offset the impact on nature and targeted water management to ensure the long-term and sustainable preservation of the site.
Project period & opening
The idea first emerged in spring 2024. In November, work began on piling up the hill, and construction began on May 21, 2025. After an intensive construction period and creative implementation, the site is now being finalized: landscaping, trees are being planted, and fences, benches, and signage are being added. The official opening of the Bergheim Bike Park is planned for October 2025.
