Whiteslide Downhill Mountainbike Schnee Race Tirol

Cool action at this winter’s hottest bike event.

Great events cast big shadows: to give you a taste of Tirol’s first Bike Park which will open this summer, the pros of Trailsolutions organize a spectacular mountain bike race, the “White Slide”.

In this night event, contestants will hurl themselves down the specially prepared and illuminated toboggan track on Bergeralm in Steinach in Wipptal. At full speed, of course. “We estimate that participants will reach speeds up to 80km/h”, says Georg Grogger of the organization team.

“Having said this, the race is not about setting up new records. It’s about taking up the challenge and having fun, whether you are a rider or a spectator.”

A spectacular setting, action & adventure; the White Slide is waiting for you!

The race starts at Panorama Restaurant at 1600 meters above sea level and follows the toboggan track which drops 550 meters in five kilometers and boasts several tight curves. The track finishes at the Hennensteige pub.

The winner of the race can take up another challenge: he or she can take on the best Wipptal tobogganers to prove that bikers are faster than tobogganers!

Participants can look forward toattractive prizes such as Lupine lamps, season passes for the Bike Park, hotel weekends, and bike parts by Sport Resch. “As I said before: Its not so much about racing, its about having fun, riding bikes and camaraderie“, Grogger explains. “And this is even more true for the After-Race Party.“
