Leogang, located in Austria's Pinzgau region between the Leoganger Steinberge and the Kitzbühler Alps, is considered by some to be one of the best ski, cycling and mountain-biking destinations in the world. In the Bikepark Leogang, take a ride on the highest-level world championships trails, or for a more leisurely ride, meander down the Art Trail, a 3-kilometer sculpture and art path that includes the “Steinberg Loop Sculpture Cycleway”, winding around the Loferer Steinberge Mountains. If you’re not a cycler, then Arthouse Nexus offers unparalleled events, ranging from "Gschnagga" theatre, to jazz and blues concerts, to exhibitions in its impressive art hall.
