12 kilometres and 1.500 altitude metres downhill on the mountain bike freeride trails
The three freeride trails at the Kitzsteinhorn offer pure variety on a total of 1.500 altitude metres and 12 kilometres:
Starting at the Alpincenter in 2.450 m, you are still in high alpine environment on the Geißstein Trail but you will be surrounded by the green alpine pastures of this vegetation zone from the Langwiedboden onward. A section with many roots awaits a bit further down as soon as you reach at the timber line at the Wüstlau Trail where technically challenging passages must be tackled. Back in the valley, the tour continues leisurely to the valley station because freeriders and their bikes get of course uphill quickly and in comfort by cable car. The three freeride trails at the Kitzsteinhorn are perfect for enduro bikers.
Mountain bike freeride trails closed, open again from approx. mid of June to mid of September 2020.
