New paths for (e-)mountain bikers in the Paznaun

An innovative E-Bike Riding Centre with stations to measure your riding technique, a new bike trail park in Galtür and two new trails in the Silvretta Bike Arena Ischgl/Samnaun – the Paznaun is launching the summer of 2024 with exciting news for mountain bikers.

From this summer, (e-)mountain bikers in the Paznaun will be able to receive first insights into how their own riding skills can be analysed using state-of-the-art technology on an innovative parcours at the prototype of the new E-Bike Riding Centre, visit the new "Silva Trails" bike trail park in Galtür with the whole family or explore two new trails in the completely renovated Silvretta Bike Arena Ischgl/Samnaun.

World's first: the E-Bike Riding Centre

How safe am I on an e-bike? How can I cleverly avoid obstacles on trails? Or what is the best way to start in steep mountain terrain? The E-Bike World Federation (EBWF) and the Paznaun-Ischgl bike region will be answering these questions and more with the innovative E-Bike Riding Centre in Ischgl, where riding skills are measured and analysed using state-of-the-art technology as you ride through. Construction of the worldwide unique bike parcours will take place gradually from 2024 until 2026. A prototype of the project will be set up on the terrace of the Silvretta Therme (ice rink) in Ischgl from summer 2024, which will provide initial insights into the innovation. The E-Bike Riding Centre is to be operated by Bründl Sports in close cooperation with the Silvretta Therme.

Not only families and beginners will be well served by the new "Silva Trails" bike trail park in Galtür from summer 2024. Centrepiece of the new park is a 6.67 km long trail with flowing curves and various northshore elements which leads from the Alpkogelbahn mountain station to the valley station in difficulty levels S0 to S2. Another 1.4 km long trail of difficulty levels S0 to S3 leads from the mountain station to the Faulbrunn Alm. A practice area with elements ranging from difficulty level S0 to S3 and an 800 m² pump track can be used in preparation, with three more trails already in planning.

Two new trails for the Silvretta Bike Arena Ischgl/Samnaun

Ischgl and Samnaun are all about nature trails. In summer they will be uniting to form the new Silvretta Bike Arena Ischgl/Samnaun, expanding their biking areas and thus offering ambitious bike cracks ideal conditions to reach their limits on demanding cross-border trail rides. Nestled in the high mountain world of the Silvretta Alps, eleven trails of all difficulty levels with a total length of 88.8 km await you in the varied, alpine terrain. New additions: the 16.3 km long Vesil Trail covering 1,330 m of descent and the 12.8 km long Fimba Trail, which takes riders up to 2,872 m around the Greitspitze. Both lie within the red difficulty range S2 to S3. Good to know: the region around Ischgl is one of the largest and most varied bike arenas in the Alps. Further trails are already being planned for summer 2025.
