OPEN FACILITIES in Summer

The trail starts directly at the exit of the Flimjochbahn cable car and leads down to Idalp in varied bends. The route is clearly visible during the ride up on the Flimjochbahn. The route is characterised by numerous berms and specially designed banked turns, making it suitable for different riding levels. Beginners can use this trail to improve their riding technique, while experienced bikers will find plenty of opportunities to pick up speed. Impressive panoramic views make the route even more appealing.

This long and scenic trail leads through the beautiful Velilltal valley and impresses with a route perfectly adapted to the terrain as well as fast and technical sections. The first section runs through high-alpine terrain with some rocky passages and impressive views. From the Velillbahn mountain station, several berms provide extra riding fun. From experienced mountain bikers to downhill enthusiasts, the trail offers varied challenges. The final kilometres run along a gravel road.

The Fimba Trail starts at the Flimjochbahn mountain station and initially leads up a challenging climb to the Greitspitze. Along the ridge towards Salaaser Kopf, impressive panoramic views of the surrounding mountains open up. After a short, moderate uphill section to Zeblasjoch, a brief descent follows before another uphill trail towards Piz Val Gronda. Mountain bikers should expect short pushing sections here. After crossing the border into Switzerland, a spectacularly beautiful singlet trail awaits, leading to the Heidelberger Hütte lodge and thus to the finish of the tour.

The Vesil Trail leads from the Flimjochbahn mountain station up a steep climb to the Greitspitze. Along the ridge towards Salaaser Kopf, the trail offers impressive panoramic views that will make every biker’s heart beat faster. After a short uphill section to Zeblasjoch, the route continues on a flowy and scenic trail towards mountain restaurant Gampenalpe. The descent leads through the breathtaking Vesiltal and Fimbatal valleys to the middle station.

The Neue Ried Trail starts around 500 metres below the Silvrettabahn middle station. The route offers an exciting riding experience amid the Paznaun mountains and combines flowy passages with natural sections. This makes the trail ideal for anyone looking for a varied descent with alpine character.

The Höllkar Trail 7175 is one of the highlight trails in Ischgl. It starts at the Flimjochbahn mountain station and initially follows a forest road to below Salaaserkopf, where the easy, blue-marked trail begins. Passing the Schwarze Wand, the route runs through the Höllkar to Sassgalunkopf. Exciting North Shore elements and bermed corners provide extra riding fun along the way. From the Melkstand, the route continues at a leisurely pace along a forest road to the Silvrettabahn middle station. With six kilometres of trail and 1,189 metres of descent, the tour offers varied riding fun in an alpine setting.

From the Heidelberger Hütte lodge, the Albrecht Route, popular with alpine crossers, leads towards the Fimbapass. This section requires a combination of riding and pushing. At the Fimbapass, a technically demanding trail begins for skilled and experienced (e-)mountain bikers. The route then descends to the destination of the tour in Ramosch. The Fimbapass Trail combines challenging sections, a real sense of adventure and impressive views of the high-alpine mountain landscape.

The Friedrichshafener Uphill & Trail starts at the car park in Piel. The route initially follows a challenging uphill section towards the Friedrichshafener Hütte lodge. After the second bend, the single trail begins and leads back down into the valley. The route ends back at the starting point at the car park in Piel.

From the Alp Trider Sattel mountain station, an easy downhill section leads downhill to Planer Salaas. The trail then runs uphill to Salaaser Eck and continues through the Ravaischer Salaas, past gypsum holes, to Bergli. From there, a singletrail begins in the direction of Zeblas before the descent on a winding route to Samnaun village. This section is steep in places and requires a careful riding style. In winter, this section is used as the Duty Free Run ski piste (piste 80). The trail is aimed at experienced (e-)mountain bikers who are looking for a varied route with alpine sections.

The Viderjoch Trail is suitable for both beginners and more advanced bikers and offers riding fun at the highest level. With magnificent views, the route starts at the Flimjochbahn mountain station.  On the well-maintained trail, the route first leads through rocky terrain. Partly winding and partly straight, it continues to a forest road before the trail branches off to the left again into varied terrain. After crossing the next forest road, the route leads through increasingly lush vegetation. The difference in altitude already covered becomes more and more noticeable: the landscape becomes greener, the meadows wider and the trail invites riders to cruise along with plenty of flow. Bend by bend, it leads down to Alp Trida. From there, several options are available: ambitious bikers can continue directly onto the Duty Free Ride Laret–Samnaun. Alternatively, the gentler Trider Sattel Trail, accessible via the Alp Trider Sattelbahn cable car, is a good option. Returning to the starting point with the Flimsattelbahn cable car is also possible.

The long, partly exposed trail runs close to the border throughout and requires very good fitness. Along the mountain ridge, the compact gravel road winds its way through high-alpine terrain. Some climbs are so steep that the bike has to be pushed in places. After the Greitspitzbahn cable car, an outstanding trail section follows, creating a special sense of freedom at over 2,700 metres. The route runs along the ridge all the way to the Salaaser Kopf. The downhill section then begins. The remote character of the route soon makes it clear why smugglers once chose this path: apart from a few cows, hardly anyone is encountered here. A relaxed forest road leads on to the Alp Trider Sattel mountain station. The Trider Sattel Trail then provides varied downhill fun again and leads to the destination, Alp Trida. From there, the Flimsattelbahn cable car takes riders back to the starting point of the trail. Alternatively, the Duty Free Trail is a good option for extending the ride.

The Trider Sattel Trail is a must for both beginners and experienced bikers. Between Alp Trider Sattel and Alp Trida, one thing takes centre stage: flow at its finest. The route is designed to give beginners the perfect first taste of real trail riding, while also impressing more advanced riders with clean lines, speed and rhythm. Bend by bend, the trail picks up momentum and leads down to Alp Trida with plenty of flow. Riders looking for a sportier challenge can make the most of the perfectly shaped jumps. Those who prefer a more relaxed ride can take out some speed and roll over the jumps in control. This keeps the trail varied without losing its smooth character. From Alp Trida, several options are available: the Trider Sattel Trail can be ridden again straight away, or the Alp Trider Sattelbahn cable car can take bikers back up to try the Viderjoch Trail. Experienced riders can alternatively continue down into the valley via the longer and more challenging Smugglers’ Trail. The spectacular double-decker Twinliner cable car then takes riders back to the starting point.

This downhill single trail offers almost 600 metres of descent and is an ideal way to extend the Viderjoch Trail. The trail is partly steep, but remains technically manageable, making it great fun for experienced bikers. From Alp Trida, the route first starts along a stream. Right at the beginning, a short break at the small lake beside the trail is worthwhile to enjoy the alpine nature. The single trail then leads down into the valley with a flowing line. Although some sections are quite steep, the route is very well integrated into the terrain and offers a high fun factor. As the trail crosses the forest road several times, there are numerous opportunities to leave the trail along the way. The route descends almost 590 metres to Laret. From there, it is just a short ride to Ravaisch, where the spectacular double-decker Twinliner cable car leads up to Alp Trider Sattel. The Trider Sattel Trail starts there and leads back to the starting point.

The double-decker cable car first takes you up to the Alp Trider Sattel mountain station. From there, an easy downhill section leads down to Planer Salaas before the trail climbs up to Salaaser Eck and continues through Ravaischer Salaas. Passing impressive gypsum holes, the route reaches Bergli. A single trail then leads downhill towards Zeblas. The final descent follows a winding road down to Samnaun Dorf, with some steep sections requiring particular attention. In winter, this section becomes the popular piste 80, known as the Duty Free Run. The Salaaser Kopf Trail leads through impressive alpine scenery and is particularly suitable for ambitious and experienced e-mountain bikers and mountain bikers.

From Samnaun-Compatsch, the route leads through impressive scenery to Laret and continues to two barns. From there, the climb begins towards Tschischanaderet and Ché d’Mot. The viewpoint can be reached on foot in just a few minutes and offers wide views across the Samnaun valley. A fast downhill trail then leads to Ravaisch. The first two bends in particular are technically demanding. An easy forest trail continues to Samnaun Dorf and along the village road to Schmuggler-Alm. The route then follows the Märchenweg and the Vitaparcours in the Inner Wald to the farms at Kalvarienberg. From there, the route descends to the Schergenbach stream and then climbs again to Clis Grond. A moderately difficult trail finally leads back to the finish in Compatsch. Alternatively, a more relaxed option follows the Schergenbach stream along the Lagerstrasse.

The trail starts at the Salaaser Kopf and initially follows the Kammtrail before branching off towards Samnaun and crossing a sunny high plateau. After passing a lift station and a traditional alpine hut, the route winds down through green meadows in several bends into an impressive gorge. Here, the path becomes narrower and the gorge tighter. An exposed section follows, where the bike has to be pushed. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are essential. The trail then continues via tight switchbacks and steep downhill sections to Ché d’Mot. At this viewpoint, marked by cable-car pylons, impressive views open up across the Samnauntal valley. From here, a flowing, wider trail section begins and leads almost all the way to the gondola station, making for a fast-paced finish. This trail is suitable only for very experienced bikers.

The tour starts in Samnaun Dorf and follows the northern side of the valley in a varied combination of uphill and downhill sections. A forest road first climbs to the viewpoint at 2,146 metres. After a further 80 steep metres of elevation gain, which partly have to be pushed, wide views open up across the Samnauntal valley behind the impressive avalanche barriers. At point 2167, an exciting descent begins, with steep, rooty and winding sections. This passage requires good riding technique and delivers a real trail experience. At point 2036, the route joins a forest road and continues to the Fuorcla Curschiglias, where a bench invites riders to take a short break. The route then descends through the forest, with numerous tight switchbacks, to the valley road in Samnaun-Compatsch. The final section is the climb along the Schergenbach stream back to Samnaun Dorf. The Fair Trail Schäfersteig demands technical skill and fitness, rewarding riders with spectacular views across the Samnauntal valley.

The trail branches off to the right onto the forest track and leads past the shepherd’s hut and through the high moor towards Vadret. This narrow, partly boulder-strewn section requires good balance on the bike. It’s worth stopping briefly along the way to enjoy the view across the Val Musauna towards Samnaun. The trail then turns left, becomes steeper and more exposed, and finally ends back on the forest track.

The Velill Trail Expert is suitable exclusively for advanced mountain bikers and experienced downhill riders. The starting point is located at the Obere Velillalpe, from where the route leads through the beautiful Velilltal valley and continues over the Prennerhang. The trail is consistently steep and technically demanding, with gradients of up to 30% in places, as well as numerous roots and challenging sections. The impressive route layout and alpine terrain make the Velill Trail Expert a challenging descent for riders with excellent technique and sufficient experience.

The trail branches off to the right from the forest road and follows the Milbach stream, crossing two small bridges and passing a fire pit. As a natural alternative to the built Duty Free Laret Trail, this section offers varied riding fun with flowing passages and rocky sections. At Alpstein, the trail rejoins the forest road. After a short section on the forest road, another trail section begins straight ahead. This part is often damp, but for experienced riders it is a worthwhile alternative to the forest road. Towards the end, the trail becomes very steep and narrow before crossing the Milbach stream and leading back to the forest road. Good brake control and a stable position on the bike are required on this section.
