The passionate freerider and mountain biker from the PillerseeTal

Ben grew up in the Kitzbüheler Alpen and lives out his love of the mountains every day. In his freetime, he uses nature as his fitness centre and also to switch off. In Winter Ben swaps his Summer sports equipment, the mountain bike, for his freeride skis and off he goes to the deep snow slopes in the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn.
Finding the flow – in all kinds of weather
The sun doesn’t always have to shine for the young local, rainy or foggy days also have their appeal. The outdoor fanatic is always searching for new flow moments in the PillerseeTal. Ben sees new details on every mountain bike tour and constantly discovers the nature of the Kitzbüheler Alpen from different perspectives.
Mountain biking is all about ups and downs. You get around a lot. Simultaneously, you train your fitness, coordination and endurance. A beer with friends at the lake after a tour and Ben’s day is perfect. Even though he has travelled a lot, Ben’s realisation is clear, Tyrol is and remains a paradise to live in.

Ben’s profile
checkMy power place in the Kitzbüheler Alpen ... the Wildseeloder.
checkWhat makes my native home special ... I can’t decide which of the four seasons is the most beautiful.
checkWhat is my emotional connection to the Kitzbüheler Alpen and why ... the mountains, because I have a story to tell about every mountain summit I’ve conquered, and there are still some which I haven’t reached yet.
‘I just need nature to stay fit and be able to switch off."
