Reiteralm Trails

About Reiteralm Trails

Located in the Schladming-Dachstein region of Styria, Austria, Reiteralm Trails is one of the country's fastest-growing mountain biking destinations. Set on the scenic slopes of Reiteralm Mountain, the trail network offers a perfect blend of flowing beginner trails, technical enduro descents, jump lines, and family-friendly riding. Served by the modern Preunegg Jet gondola, the park features approximately 21 kilometers of purpose-built singletrack and enduro trails, making it an excellent destination for riders of every skill level. One of Reiteralm's greatest strengths is its focus on progression. The trail network has been designed so that beginners can confidently experience lift-served mountain biking while advanced riders still have plenty of technical challenges to enjoy. The park is also a Gravity Card partner, allowing visitors to access Reiteralm alongside many of Europe's top bike parks with a single pass. Beginners and families will appreciate the smooth blue-rated trails, particularly the Eiskar Trail and Schnepfenwald Trail. These flowing routes feature wide berms, gentle gradients, rollers, and predictable corners that encourage confidence without becoming intimidating. The long descents provide an ideal introduction to alpine mountain biking while offering spectacular views of the surrounding Schladming-Dachstein mountains. Intermediate riders have an excellent variety of options throughout the network. Trails such as Buckelwald Trail, Gassl Trail, and Route 66 combine flowing sections with roots, small technical features, natural terrain, and playful rollers. These trails reward smooth riding and allow cyclists to link multiple descents into full-day adventures while continually improving their skills. Advanced riders can challenge themselves on the park's more technical routes, including the Enduro Trail and Hochalm Enduro Trail. These black-rated descents feature steep gradients, rocky terrain, root-covered sections, tighter corners, and demanding line choices that require confident bike handling. Although relatively short, they provide an exciting contrast to the flowing blue trails and are particularly popular with experienced enduro riders. A major highlight of Reiteralm is its dedicated Jump Trail, a purpose-built line featuring tabletops, rollers, berms, and progressive jump features. Advanced riders can practice airtime and rhythm, while intermediate riders benefit from carefully designed features that help develop jumping skills. Many larger obstacles include alternative lines, allowing riders to progress safely at their own pace. The park also places strong emphasis on young riders and beginners. The Reiteralm Junior Trails include two dedicated beginner lines, Snake Line and Tiger Line, served by a conveyor lift. Children can learn fundamental mountain biking skills in a safe environment, with rental bikes and protective equipment available directly at the practice area. This makes Reiteralm one of Austria's most family-friendly bike destinations. The Preunegg Jet gondola provides fast and comfortable uplift throughout the day, allowing riders to maximize their time on the trails. At the base station, visitors will find the Bike Center Reiteralm, offering bike rentals, professional servicing, guiding, coaching, and bike school programs for riders of all abilities. Parking, restaurants, mountain huts, and bike-friendly accommodation are also available nearby, making the park well suited for both day trips and longer mountain biking holidays. The alpine scenery is another major attraction. Trails wind through dense spruce forests, open mountain meadows, and scenic ridgelines while offering panoramic views of the Dachstein massif and surrounding Austrian Alps. Throughout the summer, wildflowers, traditional mountain huts, and crystal-clear alpine air create an unforgettable riding atmosphere that perfectly complements the professionally built trail network. The riding season generally runs from late spring through autumn, depending on weather conditions and lift operations. Continuous investment between 2020 and 2024 has significantly expanded the trail network and improved rider facilities, helping establish Reiteralm as one of Austria's leading destinations for flow and enduro riding. Whether you're learning your first berms, enjoying long flowing descents, progressing on jump lines, or tackling technical enduro terrain, Reiteralm Trails offers a complete alpine mountain biking experience. Its modern lift system, outstanding trail variety, family-friendly facilities, and spectacular scenery have made it one of the standout riding destinations in the Schladming-Dachstein region and a must-visit stop for anyone exploring Austria's famous bike parks.
