Bike parks, pump tracks & practice areas

Brixen Bikepark on the Plose has four mountain bike trails varying from very easy to challenging. Three of the four descents were only opened in 2018. They were designed by Gravity Logic, which was founded by the legendary trail building team behind Whistler Mountain Bike Park in Canada. All the trails are superbly maintained, boast some fantastic corners and offer plenty of airtime and riding challenges.
4 lines: 2 difficult, 1 medium, 1 easy
Accessibility: Plose gondola lift, Palmschoß chairlift

The 3-country Enduro Trails combine a globally unique scenic experience with imposing views, cosy alpine pastures, beautiful lakes, history and culture - interwoven through mountain bike trails. Since mountain biking was discovered and promoted by locals more than 25 years ago, there is a lively mountain bike culture in the villages around the Reschen Pass and you can literally feel you are welcome as a mountain biker.
Moreover, even in midsummer, temperatures in the Reschen Pass are usually pleasant. In addition to jumping into the Reschen lake, further natural lakes in the forests around the Reschen Pass also provide cooling.

 

Trail descents of the finest quality from almost 2,500 metres above sea level make "runs" with more than 1,000 metres in decent at a time is possible! From flowing to technically demanding, but mostly natural, the trails offer everything an enduro heart desires. On a trail day in the border triangle, you will also pass by important landmarks, such as the 3-country border stone, Nauders mountain castle or the Reschen lake with its striking sunken church tower. Due to the vast size of the area, all types of mountain bikers are spread out inconspicuously throughout the terrain. By the end of the trail, all trails are guaranteed to lead you directly back to your starting point.

The Kronplatz Bike Park is anything but ordinary. Instead of sketching trails on a drawing board, we went right into the forest and used whatever we found: Steep slope? Steep trail. Plenty of space? Perfect for jumps. Roots all over the place? Well, we’re in a forest, so there will be roots. In places where dredging was allowed, we put our excavators to work. And wherever it wasn’t, well, we didn’t. The result: At Kronplatz, there’s no copy-paste – each trail tells its own story. 

And the trail names are quite unique, too: Franz and Hans are already legendary. They’ve been a household name in the community for years. But their successors are by no means inferior to them and have long been among the favourites of countless TrailTrophy and Alpine Enduro Series participants.

18 trails await you: 1 easy-moderate, 3 moderate, 10 moderate-difficult and 2 difficult.

With a total of 5 lifts and cable-cars (Kronplatz 2000 lift, Olang 1+2 lift, Ried lift, Ruis lift and Piz de Plaies lift) up and running all summer, our mountain bikers are spoilt for choice – that’s more than most places in the Alps can say for themselves. And with the exception of the Piz de Plaies lift, they all lead right to the peak at 2,272 m above sea-level, complete with jaw-dropping 360° views.

Freeriding is one of the most adrenaline-pumping ways to ride a bike. Mountain bikes are used to descend mountain paths with bumps, jumps and various natural obstacles such as roots, stones and bushes.
In the Gardenaccia Freeride Bike Park, starting from the mountain station of the Gardenaccia chairlift at an altitude of 1,750 m, two routes have been created:
- the first one, more difficult, is for bikers who already have good riding skills, looking for strong emotions
- the second is easier and suitable for less experienced bikers.
The start of the bike park can be reached by taking the Gardenaccia chairlift from La Villa.
At the Gardenaccia chairlift there is the possibility to rent freeride bikes.

Absolute flow fun for young and old in the Trail Arena Val Gardena, the bike park with the most beautiful panorama in the Alps. The 5 flow trails, 2 of which in the Dantercepies zone (Cir Tiera and Cir Giara), which can be reached with the Dantercepies cable car from Selva or with the Cir chairlift from the Gardena Pass, and 3 in the Plan de Gralba/Piz Seteur zone (Family Line, Jump Line, Paravis), which can be reached with the Piz Seteur cable car and the Gran Paradiso chairlift, are medium-difficulty (blue/red – S1/S2) and framed by a breathtaking Dolomite panorama. Those who like it challenging and want an adrenaline kick can also take the Freeride Ciampinoi: this freeride route starts just below the mountain station of the Ciampinoi cable car, which starts in the centre of Selva di Val Gardena.

In 2020, the first MTB training park of the holidayregion 3 Zinnen Dolomites has opened in Sexten. It is located at the valley station of the Three Peaks cable car and offers training routes for beginners as well as for advanced mountain bikers. They all find various training routes here: fast or easy trails, Slowtrails or technical lines,… The course is particularly exciting for kids, they can really have a good romp on the routes named after native animals. For a little refreshment in between, the Zin Fux restaurant is located directly at the bike park.

The bike skills park in Tarres is ideal for learning the right technique for the wonderful bike tours and single trails in the Laces-Martello vacation area. Here you will learn to correctly assess and master bends, steps, bridges, ramps, humps and many other obstacles so that you are well prepared to ride the trails.

Lovers of adventure on two wheels will find in Alta Badia the BIKE BEATS - ALTA BADIA TRAILS, set up at 2000m in the heart of the Movimënt area.
