Black Trail "National"

There are two words to best describe the black trail at Bellwald bike park: fast and flowing. The trail is not advertised as black because of technically difficult passages. The difficulty of the course lies mainly in the demanding traverses and the high degree of concentration needed to stay focused at a relatively high speed.

The descent starts at the middle station and leads through open meadows and forest on totally natural surfaces. Over and over again, the rider comes upon interesting key places like the "Lucien Combo", the "Mutschlucht" (courage canyon) or the "Todesfall" (fatality) rock garden.
The track bears the title "National" because the Swiss Championships were held here the year after its opening in 2005. Since then, the trail has served as a popular race track for up to 400 downhill riders in the iXS Downhill Cup in October. Although this descent has been open for more than ten years, the quality of the track and the pleasure of riding on it can still be ensured today thanks to qualified maintenance work.

We wish everyone a lot of fun, courage and common sense on the classic bike track in Bellwald bike park.

Blue Trail "Denis X-Trail"

The blue trail was added several years after the black trail. The aim was to build a second, easier and more comfortable route. In recent years, the track has been optimised and of course kept in perfect condition. The Bellwald soil is ideal for cutting through the burns, and there's usually more grip than courage. The blue trail also starts at the middle station and then leads directly to the west. While the fun on the "National" grows proportionally to the speed, the "Denis X-Trail" is also fun for a very comfortable style of riding. This does not necessarily require a downhill bike. Even an all-mountain bike means that you will be safe on the natural surface without shocks and roots. Beginners and less experienced riders are guaranteed a confident and fearless start.
