NEW: 20 new and signposted mountain-bike routes await you, as does an accompanying mountain-bike map with removable maps for each of the individual routes - practical for every biker out on the trail.

Downhill

Quite a contrast is provided by the longest permanent downhill course, located on the Schladminger Planai. Also a stop-off for the world's mountain-biking elite as they converge for the annual UCI Mountain-Bike World Cup Planai.

Of course, amateur bikers and families are also welcome to ride the course. To make it even more accessible, there are several different routes and a broad range of difficulty. Clearly signposted throughout, including difficulty level, your vacation fun is guaranteed.
The over 4.5 km-long route in the Planai Bike Park follows the same line as the cable car and was especially adapted for this purpose.  It was constructed with a view to being eco-friendly and offers a broad palette of down-hilling for everyone.  From banked turns, to jumps and steep sections, where the thrill factor goes through the roof. The maximum gradient is over 100%. The second section, especially, is characterized by numerous banked turns coming one after the other.

The start is at 1830m above sea level, while the finish is in the Planai Stadium at en elevation of 740m, dropping a total of 1080m.  Bike transportation is offered free of charge on the Planai lift.
