The ski season is in sight and many snow sports resorts have already opened for business. Ideally, mountain bikers who are switching to bikes for the next few months should also stay in hotels that have a heart for cyclists in winter. Ride shows which hotels are particularly worthwhile.

The hotel cellar is a mountain biker's specialty and is often no stranger. This is where their beloved bikes are kept in summer when they are not galloping along the trails in the wild. In winter, the same room is used by the same guests to store their skis and dry their ski boots.
