singletrack Gornerwald Trail No. 139

Kals am Großglockner / Granatspitze Group
Difficulty ratings: difficult
Route length: 2.3 km
Duration: 0:30 h

Don't be distracted by the view of the Großglockner on the Gornerwald Trail: the start of the challenging freeride requires full concentration. The second half of the trail is easier and gives you time to think: descend with a view of Austria's highest mountain. Where else can you find that?

Tour character

Challenging freeride with a view of the Glockner: Narrow, steep and stepped, the descent initially winds its way through sparse forest. Large jumps, stones and steps provide additional thrills - spiced up with the odd step-up and drop-down. On the single trail scale, this section is rated S3 and S4 in places. Only for experienced freeriders! Much easier in the second part.
