7 to 8 august
Attention mountain biking enthusiasts: From August 7 to August 8, 2026, the 31st Ischgl Ironbike will take place – an event for everyone who loves cycling and challenges! New routes, new riding experience. Redesigned courses across all four distances deliver more trail flow, more singletracks, and greater variety set against an alpine backdrop.
The Ischgl Ironbike is one of Europe’s toughest MTB marathons, pushing even experienced licensed riders to their limits – especially on the extreme distance. Yet the shorter routes are equally rewarding, following in parts historic smuggler trails once used between Ischgl and Samnaun.
However, Ischgl Ironbike is not just for die-hard professionals – it also offers great options for aspiring cycling talents. For instance, young riders can show off their skills and compete against their peers at the Kids & Juniors Trophy presented by Volksbank Tirol. With different routes for every age group, there’s the perfect option for everyone.
A well-known classic is the Short Track: as the name suggests, the focus is not on distance. The Short Track Race is all about speed and technique, requiring contestants to navigate the winding trails between two opposing hills in Ischgl.
