Tom Oehler discovers the Alps’ most exciting bike regions in “Trail Dreams”

Trial world champion Tom Oehler and Innsbruck-based media house REC3 present the new documentary series “Trail Dreams”. Across six episodes, Tom explores the best mountain bike regions in the Alps on two wheels – from flowing singletracks to technical high-alpine lines.

“Trail Dreams” offers more than spectacular rides: each episode combines action-packed trail riding with exciting encounters, regional culture and unique insights into the local bike community. Every region stands for its own theme, such as community, nature or history. At the heart of each episode is a signature trail, joined by the locals who shape the scene – from young talents to the cable car crew – and by the history of the region, from alpine pastures and old paths to the trail pioneers.

Tom is not just the rider, but also narrator, interviewer and explorer. He meets people as equals, listens and keeps learning. The camera is right there with him – on the trail, in conversation and in moments of amazement. The result is a format that shows not only action but genuine experience, personal and authentic.

The series was filmed from late summer 2025 to spring 2026. The first season will be completed in June 2026 and consists of six episodes of 26 minutes each. In German-speaking countries, “Trail Dreams” will be shown on the Austrian public broadcaster ORF and on YouTube.

Tom Oehler, born in Linz in 1983, is one of the best-known bike trial riders in the world. The five-time Austrian champion became BIU World Champion in 2008 and holds Guinness World Records, including the “highest wall climb on a bicycle”. Today he lives near Innsbruck and feels most at home on technical high-alpine trails – on his mountain bike as well as his e-MTB.
