Trail experience in a wild landscape!

The hand-built single trail is surrounded by glowing larch forests, lush meadows and blueberry fields and therefore has all the ingredients for an impressive nature and landscape experience. It is perfect for gaining initial experience on narrow single trails and coming into contact with easily rollable rock and root fields without having to expose yourself to challenging terrain or steep slopes. You will look in vain for the wide berms and explicit jumps typical of bike parks, but you will find easy and moderately difficult obstacles of all kinds such as individual roots, root fields, rollable steps and stone and rock passages that require proactive riding.
