Our mission:

Dedicated people united by a passion: MTBiking.

We want to bring together and "unite" the many mountain bikers who mostly act as individuals, in order to exchange ideas and act together.

Mountain bikers, especially trail bikers, are usually not affiliated with any club, meaning they are unorganized and consequently lack representation or lobbying. At the same time, however, the number of people participating in the sport is steadily increasing, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic.

And that's exactly why we're here - we want to fill this hole!

Why the name?

Our community name (club name since February 2023) with the abbreviation MTB stands for mountain bike and is generally neutral for any style and every facet of the sport.

Remove from -ss- or remove from -ß-

This is also how our beautiful district of Reutte is described from the perspective of the rest of Austria: "except" = "behind" the Fernpass.

Of course, the second name of our district is spelled Außerfern – that is, with a sharp "ß"! However, in connection with our logo, wordmark, and internet domain, we always allow ourselves to write "MTBausserfern" with "ss" because it simply looks better and doesn't pose any technical problems on the internet. As a standalone word in texts, we naturally always use it correctly!

We hope we haven't offended any of our residents from the surrounding area and think this is okay :-)

What do we do?

• Creating connections

The goal is to gather and consolidate shared ideas and wishes regarding our sport, thereby giving all mountain bikers a voice. Through our strong network, we aim to be a central point of contact for all MTB athletes, as well as for businesses, lifts, hotels, institutions, etc., that are already developing or planning to develop MTB-specific projects. We want to offer information and advice on all aspects of mountain biking in the district and exchange ideas with them to work together more effectively.

• be a voice

As the "voice" of the MTB community, we are in contact with public bodies, authorities, decision-makers and would like to participate in and contribute to bike-specific projects, but also generate our own and become a supporting, central point of contact for them in the district.

We are increasingly committed to expanding the MTB infrastructure and paying particular attention to ensuring that it better meets the needs of the community. Because if it suits the locals, it will also suit every visitor to our district...
