About Green Hill

Located in the scenic Sauerland region of western Germany, near the town of Schmallenberg, Green Hill Bikepark has quickly become one of the country's most modern and exciting mountain biking destinations. Since opening in 2023, the park has gained a reputation for world-class trail building, progressive jump lines, and outstanding facilities that rival some of Europe's best bike parks. Designed with input from internationally experienced trail builders, Green Hill combines modern flow, technical riding, and freestyle features into a destination that appeals to everyone from beginners to professional freeriders. One of Green Hill Bikepark's defining features is its emphasis on progression. Rather than separating riders completely by skill level, the trail network has been carefully designed to help visitors gradually develop confidence and technique. The park currently features 11 interconnected trails, allowing riders to combine different lines and create unique descents throughout the day. Whether you're looking for flowing berms, technical forest sections, or massive jump lines, every run offers new possibilities. Access to the trails is provided by two parallel uplift systems that transport both riders and bikes efficiently to the top of the hill. Instead of traditional chairlifts, Green Hill uses a specially designed bike lift system that allows for fast turnaround times and a continuous flow of riders. The efficient uplift means visitors spend more time riding and less time waiting, making it possible to complete dozens of runs during a single day. Beginners are welcomed with progression-friendly flow trails that provide the perfect introduction to gravity mountain biking. Wide berms, smooth rollers, gentle gradients, and predictable corners allow new riders to develop braking, cornering, and body positioning skills in a safe environment. At the base of the park, a dedicated practice area gives beginners and younger riders the opportunity to improve their technique before moving onto the mountain trails. Professional coaching sessions are also available throughout the season for riders looking to accelerate their progression. Intermediate riders will quickly discover why Green Hill has become famous throughout Germany. The park's red-rated trails feature perfectly sculpted berms, flowing rhythm sections, tabletops, rollers, wooden features, and moderate jumps that encourage smooth, confident riding. The trail builders have focused heavily on maintaining flow, allowing riders to generate speed naturally while enjoying continuous rhythm from top to bottom. Optional feature lines make it easy to gradually increase the level of difficulty without sacrificing confidence. Advanced riders are rewarded with some of the most creative trail building found anywhere in Germany. Large gap jumps, technical drops, steep berms, wall rides, rock sections, and demanding freeride features challenge even experienced mountain bikers. The park has gained particular recognition for its impressive jump lines, where experienced riders can link multiple features into long sequences filled with airtime. Many professional athletes regularly visit Green Hill for training and filming thanks to the quality of its features and consistently excellent trail conditions. Community feedback frequently highlights the park's exceptional trail building, especially its jump lines and feature design. One of the park's greatest strengths is the quality of its trail construction. Every berm, jump, roller, and landing has been carefully engineered to provide smooth transitions and predictable riding characteristics. Rather than relying purely on steep terrain, Green Hill emphasizes precision, creativity, and progression. Riders often compare the experience to some of North America's best bike parks because of the high standard of trail design and maintenance. The surrounding Sauerland landscape provides an ideal setting for mountain biking. Dense forests, rolling hills, and fresh mountain air create an enjoyable riding environment throughout the season. Although the park does not have the massive vertical elevation of Alpine resorts, the carefully designed trails maximize every meter of descent, resulting in surprisingly long and satisfying runs packed with features from start to finish. Trail maintenance is carried out to an exceptionally high standard. Dedicated crews regularly reshape berms, rebuild jumps, repair drainage systems, and inspect every feature to ensure consistent riding quality. Trail status is updated regularly, and temporary closures are used whenever maintenance or weather conditions require it, helping preserve the excellent condition of the network throughout the season. Green Hill also places a strong emphasis on rider development. Professional coaching programs are available for all skill levels, covering everything from fundamental bike handling to advanced jumping, drops, and line selection. Riders without their own equipment can rent modern downhill and enduro bikes, along with helmets and protective gear, making the park easily accessible for first-time visitors. Facilities throughout the park are designed with mountain bikers in mind. Visitors benefit from a professional rental center, repair workshop, bike shop, bike wash station, food and drink facilities, parking, and comfortable rider areas. Throughout the season, Green Hill hosts coaching camps, demo days, community races, whip-off contests, festivals, and special riding events that have helped create one of Germany's most active mountain biking communities. The riding season typically extends from spring through late autumn, depending on weather conditions. Thanks to its modern infrastructure, outstanding trail quality, and constant investment in new features, Green Hill continues to attract riders from across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and beyond. Its central location also makes it an excellent destination for weekend trips and multi-day riding holidays. Whether you're learning your first berms, progressing through flowing jump lines, improving technical skills, or sending some of Germany's biggest bike park features, Green Hill Bikepark delivers one of the most exciting gravity riding experiences in Europe. Its combination of progressive trail design, exceptional maintenance, modern facilities, and welcoming riding community has firmly established it as one of Germany's premier mountain biking destinations.
