NEW BIKEPARK 1024 INCOMING

The Ochsenkopf bike park is growing and significantly expanding its offerings. In addition to the fast black downhill track for thrill-seekers, five new flow trails, four varied singletracks, and an additional uphill trail are being created. With a total of approximately 15 kilometers of new trails ranging in difficulty from easy to intermediate, the expanded section will offer even more riding fun for beginners and advanced riders alike. Those who want to skip the steep climb can start at a relaxed altitude of 1,024 meters. Special bike tickets (time-based, multi-ride and family tickets) are also available on the south side. Furthermore, the cabins of the southern cable car are equipped with convenient bike racks.
