Stop off or ride off? Bikers on the Lichte Trail ask themselves this question sooner or later. The Tyrolean bacon dumplings and the view of the Zugspitze from the Heiterwanger Alm are simply too tempting. But the challenging single trail also has it all: roots, waves and loose forest floor - plenty of flow for freeriders!
Beautiful and sometimes steep forest passages, roots, waves and soft forest floor quickly create a freeride feeling on the Lichte Trail. However, if you want to tackle the challenging trail near Berwang, you need to be confident in the saddle. Precise riding technique is required, especially in wet conditions. After the second or third lap at the latest, a break and refreshments are due at the Heiterwanger Alm. Legendary: Tyrolean bacon dumplings with a view of the Zugspitze.
Option 1: Ascent via MTB route 830 from Bichlbach or 879 from Berwang
Option 2: Ascent with the Almkopfbahn from Bichlbach or the Sonnalmbahn from Berwang
Descent via the trail along the ski slope. At the first junction of the road, follow the left forest path for approx. 300 meters. Now the actual trail begins, which leads through a challenging mixed forest. Various line choices, roots and soft forest floor create a freeride feeling. After the forest section, follow the ski slope briefly and then turn right again. A short section typical of a single trail then takes you to the final flowing part of the trail and ends at the valley station of the Almkopfbahn.
IMPORTANT NOTES:

Alpine emergency call: 140
