What are ‘natural trails’ in mountain biking in Tyrol?

Natural trails are singletrack trails that run largely through natural terrain – complete with roots, stones and uneven ground. They are usually only minimally shaped and feel more ‘authentically wild’ than man-made bike park lines.

Who are natural single tracks particularly suitable for?

They’re ideal for anyone who enjoys technical riding and can adapt to changing conditions. Depending on the trail, this can range from ‘sporty but beginner-friendly’ to ‘very challenging’ – self-assessment and confident bike control are key.

How do natural trails differ from flow trails or bike park trails?

Flow trails and bike park trails are often purpose-built, smoothed out and designed for ‘flow’ – with banked turns, undulations and clear lines. Natural trails are rougher, less predictable and more dependent on the weather and the ground conditions.

Nature trails

Old mountain paths, alpine trails, hunters’ tracks or former hiking trails: these unspoilt single tracks do without artificial jumps and obstacles, but make up for it with plenty of roots and stones.

A natural trail as it should be: a flowing route, no artificial elements and a turquoise-blue swimming lake at the end. It can be endured!

Flowing over beautiful alpine meadows, winding on forest floors, steep and technical over loose stones and boulders, the route leads downhill to Lake Reschen. The Insta-Spot is laid out, but hardly comes close to the feeling of elation after a full descent.

What does the perfect single trail look like? We don't want to brag, but the Arzler Alm Trail is dangerously close: close to the city, quickly accessible and fun - with a view of Innsbruck and a stop at the Arzler Alm. Biker's heart, what more could you want?

The First One was the first trail in the Bikepark Innsbruck and is still one of its flagship trails. Flowy and not very steep, the bike park trail leads from the mountain station of the Muttereralmbahn to the middle station and offers plenty of action. Highlight: two photogenic wall rides that catapult bikers into the vertical.

Sometimes flowy, sometimes bumpy, the natural single trail leads from Hochsölden to the historic district of Leite. Halfway along the trail, the rustic Leiterberg Alm invites you to enjoy a well-earned refreshment. Just as well, because after that it gets really challenging with high roots, stones and steps!
