1. Bikepark Innsbruck has trails for the whole family
Let’s start with options for the youngest bikers and absolute beginners. For this category of bikers, there is a pump track below the lower cable car station and it is free of charge.
The blue trail (The Chainless One) is 7.6 km long and the whole family can handle it with a little practice. It is an easier way to get from the upper cable car station to the valley.
The red trail (The First One) is rougher and more technically demanding, but the gradient is not steep. The trail ends halfway down the hill, and you must choose whether to continue along the blue trail or the even rougher black trail.
The black trail (The Straight One) starts at the blue gondola, and the hill is steeper. It is a challenging trail with lots of roots and is used for downhill racing.
The bike park includes many trails of varying difficulty. It is designed so that people can mix and match trails on the way down and develop their skills. Hence, the bike park’s motto: “Choose your line!”
In addition, there are two more trails (The Wild One and The Rough One) on the other hill with the Nockspitzbahn cable car. The Rough One was originally built for the first downhill races in the Crankworx series and is a real challenge! Among bikers, it is said to be the best trail in the bike park. If you don’t feel up to it after a more challenging start, you can hop on at the mid-station and take a cable car back up. The upper half of The Wild One hill is a steeper flow trail with plenty of jumps and rocky sections.
The Nockspitzbahn cable car in Götzens is open only at weekends in July and August, so we recommend visiting during this period.
2. Rookie Park: a new skill centre in the bike park
A newly opened skill centre – Rookie Park is a major innovation. It has been designed to suit everyone who wants to take their biking skills to the next level.
The Rookie Park is located at the upper station of the Muttereralmbahn cable car, next to the adventure Muttereralm restaurant and is tailored to can enjoy a delicious biker menu after training in the Rookie Park. It’s a great way to relax and plan your ride on one of the many trails in the bike park.
Various obstacles, jumps and training elements ensure considerable progress of biking skills – whether you’re a beginner or a pro. The park includes several types of obstacles of varying difficulty. Three size S (1 m), M (1.5 m) and L (2 m) tabletop jumps where you can safely practice your first airtime are the biggest attraction. The jumps are designed to allow riders to combine and create different training lines. Tabletops are one of the best ways to start jumping on a bike and gradually improve skills and practice new tricks.
3. Bikepark Innsbruck offers bike rental and service
If you cannot bring your own bike or only ride occasionally and prefer to rent a bike, don’t hesitate to visit the rental shop in the bike park. You can try out different types of bikes before you fall in love with the activity and buy your own bike or a new one, which is a big advantage. Have you forgotten your helmet at home? No worries. Helmets can be rented here too. Your bike will be taken care of by experts in the service centre as if it were their own, so it will be in good hands.
4. Jumpline is adrenaline even for advanced riders
The Jumpline in Bikepark Innsbruck can challenge even advanced bikers. It’s about airtime, and we can’t think of a better place to get your heart racing, feel freedom and adrenaline at the same time. Overcoming obstacles and flying through the air will energise you and give you a wow effect. The Jumpline is ideal to really find out what your riding skills and limits are. So, how well can you control your bike?
