3 trailers – 3 genres – 1 community

Austria’s largest bike region is something you simply have to experience – just like the acting performances of Vali Höll, Fabio Wibmer, Stevie Schneider, and many other local heroes. The three trailers “Vali –Mit Vollgas durch’s Idyll”, “Trail Rush – Ride to Live” and “Bremsspur– Ein Alpenkrimi” leave you wanting more. In an online voting on bike.saalbach.com, the community chooses its favorite. The trailer with the most votes gets the chance to become the very first blockbuster from Austria’s largest bike region.

Drama, action thriller or crime – which genre captures the audience the most? Vote now & win!

The choice is between Vali Höll as an icon of female empowerment between downhill racing and dirndl, Stevie Schneider, investigating the intrigue surrounding a deadly hunt for bikers, and Fabio Wibmer as a secret agent who can trust nothing – except the suspension of his bike. All three trailers can be streamed on bike.saalbach.com, where the community can then vote for their personal favorite. 

Taking part in the voting is definately worth it: among all participants, Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn is giving away a 1 week bike-trip for 2 people, hotel and biketickets included in Austria’s largest bike region.

QUOTES

Vali Höll: “My trailer brings Heidi into 2026. I think that says it all. I absolutely loved the shoot, even though I was a little nervous. Luckily, it was a very familiar environment, which made it easier for me to let go of control a little. The production company did an amazing job editing it, and I’m a huge fan of how it all came together.”

Fabio Wibmer: “I had a pretty good laugh when the team first came to me with the idea, and to be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first. But I think it’s really cool that with Saalbach we can bringideas like this to life and think outside the box! I do have some experience with acting from my videos, but I definitely feel more comfortable wearing a helmet and sitting on my bike while being filmed. The torture scene at the end was especially tricky to shoot, but we pulled it off well — even though I’ve never swallowed that much milk before haha!”

Stevie Schneider: ““The initiial idea for the trailer campaign came about during a joint brainstorming session in a mountain hut on a bike trip in Saalbach. Convincing the locals to take part was honestly the easiest part of the project. Most of them know our work and are aware that if we do it with Foolhouse Media, it’s going to turn out well. Beyond biking, the region has some of the coolest and nicest locals. For me, it’s like a second home. One of my highlights during the shoot was definitely when we turned an industrial kitchen into an autopsy room — and our ‘corpse’ kept complaining about how cold the surface was.”
