My cycling story

When passion knows no limits

My story on the bike began many years ago. Today I travel the world as an endurance cyclist and extreme sports athlete. Whether it is Race Across America, mountain bike marathons around the world, or international ultracycling competitions, I love testing my limits, pursuing big goals, and finding out what is possible when you believe in yourself.

My greatest achievements include several podium finishes at the Salzkammergut Trophy, two second-place finishes at Race Across America, and the ultracycling world championship with a course record.

My connection to the region

The Salzkammergut is more than a training ground

I have a very special connection to the Salzkammergut. I discovered my fascination with mountain biking here during the annual training camps with the junior cycling club. Today I return to Gosau with my wife and our two young children. The mountains, lakes, and varied landscape continue to shape my passion for sport.

The trail network around Gosau is incredibly varied. During long and intensive training sessions, the surroundings and the joy of being outdoors make a real difference. For me, the Salzkammergut is much more than a training region.

Together on the road

A partner who shares my passion

I am delighted to have Hotel Sommerhof at my side as a partner who shares my passion for sport. Our collaboration stands for shared values, enthusiasm, and the belief that passion and the right environment can make a lot possible.

I am proud to have Hotel Sommerhof as part of my journey and look forward to taking on many more sporting challenges together.

Because in sport and in life, you do not achieve great things alone.
