About Samerberg GmbH

Located in the picturesque Chiemgau Alps in Bavaria, southern Germany, Rocky Mountain Bikepark Samerberg is one of the country's most beloved flow-oriented mountain biking destinations. Just 45 minutes from Munich and close to the Austrian border, the park combines professionally built trails, spectacular alpine scenery, and a welcoming family atmosphere. Operated alongside the historic Hochriesbahn cableway, the bike park has become a favorite destination for beginners, families, trail riders, and experienced gravity enthusiasts looking for perfectly maintained flow trails and technical singletrack. One of the defining characteristics of Bikepark Samerberg is its progression-focused design. Rather than overwhelming riders with extremely steep or technical terrain, the park emphasizes smooth flow, confidence building, and fun. Every trail has been carefully shaped to provide an enjoyable experience for riders of different skill levels while allowing visitors to gradually improve their technique throughout the day. Access to the trails is provided by the Hochriesbahn, a charming mountain lift that transports riders and their bikes to the middle station overlooking the beautiful Samerberg plateau. The scenic lift ride offers panoramic views of the Chiemgau Alps before riders begin their descent through forests and mountain meadows. Thanks to the efficient uplift system, visitors can complete numerous runs throughout the day while enjoying one of Bavaria's most beautiful mountain landscapes. The park's main attraction is its famous Flow Trail, one of Germany's classic beginner-friendly downhill routes. Stretching approximately 2.15 kilometers with around 220 meters of vertical descent, the trail features 44 berms, 18 jumps, flowing rollers, wall rides, and countless smooth transitions. Wide corners and perfectly shaped features allow beginners to ride comfortably while giving experienced riders plenty of opportunities to generate speed and airtime. The trail has become widely known for its outstanding rhythm and consistently excellent maintenance, making it enjoyable for riders of every ability. One of the greatest strengths of Bikepark Samerberg is the flexibility of the main trail. Less experienced riders can safely roll every feature while advanced mountain bikers can choose larger jumps, more aggressive lines, and higher speeds. This progression philosophy allows families and groups with mixed skill levels to ride together while each rider enjoys an experience suited to their own ability. Beyond the main descent, riders can explore several alternative singletrail sections that branch away from the Flow Trail. These natural forest trails introduce tighter corners, exposed roots, technical terrain, North Shore features, and steeper gradients, providing a more demanding challenge for intermediate and advanced riders. The combination of machine-built flow and natural terrain creates a varied riding experience that keeps every run interesting. Experienced gravity riders can extend their adventure by continuing toward the summit of Hochries Mountain, where the challenging Hochries Tech Trail begins. This demanding natural descent offers approximately 660 meters of vertical drop across rocky terrain, steep switchbacks, root-covered forest sections, and technical alpine singletrack. The trail contrasts beautifully with the smoother bike park lines and has become a favorite among experienced enduro and downhill riders looking for a more natural mountain experience. For younger visitors and complete beginners, the resort features the excellent Maloja Bike Playground near the upper station. This dedicated skills area includes small berms, balance beams, wooden bridges, rollers, seesaws, and beginner-friendly North Shore features designed to teach the fundamentals of mountain biking in a safe and enjoyable environment. Children and adults alike can practice balance, cornering, and body positioning before progressing onto the larger trails. The park also offers professional coaching through its FAHRTWIND Bike School, where certified instructors provide lessons for riders of every experience level. Beginners can learn essential riding techniques while more advanced cyclists receive coaching on jumping, cornering, line selection, and technical descending. These structured training sessions have made Samerberg one of Bavaria's most popular destinations for rider development. The surrounding Chiemgau Alps provide an unforgettable backdrop for every ride. Trails descend through peaceful forests with frequent views of the Bavarian countryside and nearby alpine peaks. Beyond the bike park itself, the region offers more than 200 kilometers of marked mountain bike routes, allowing visitors to combine bike park laps with scenic cross-country or e-bike tours through traditional villages, alpine meadows, and mountain huts. Trail maintenance is one of the park's greatest strengths. Dedicated trail crews regularly reshape berms, rebuild jumps, repair drainage systems, and maintain North Shore features to ensure consistently outstanding riding conditions throughout the season. The attention to detail is immediately noticeable, with smooth transitions, perfectly sculpted corners, and reliable trail surfaces that perform well even after periods of rain. Facilities at the base area are comprehensive and rider-friendly. Visitors have access to a fully equipped bike shop, professional workshop, modern bike rental center, protective equipment, bike servicing, cafés, parking, and comfortable rider facilities. Riders can rent downhill bikes, trail bikes, electric mountain bikes, and all necessary safety gear, making the park accessible even for those without their own equipment. Throughout the riding season, Bikepark Samerberg hosts numerous community events, including After Office Ride evenings with extended lift hours, barbecues, campfires, coaching clinics, demo days, and mountain biking festivals. These events have helped create one of Germany's friendliest mountain biking communities, where visitors of all ages and abilities are welcomed. The riding season generally runs from spring through autumn, depending on weather conditions and lift operations. Thanks to its combination of beautifully maintained flow trails, technical natural riding, outstanding progression opportunities, and spectacular Bavarian scenery, Rocky Mountain Bikepark Samerberg has earned its place as one of Germany's premier mountain biking destinations. Whether you're taking your first bike park lap, refining your jumping skills, or exploring challenging alpine singletrack, Samerberg delivers an unforgettable riding experience in the heart of the Chiemgau Alps.
