What is SkiStar Trail Park?

SkiStar Trail Park is our area for trail riding, with dedicated zones built for mountain biking.

Here you ride a combination of natural trails and purpose-built trails through forests and mountains, often featuring berms, flow sections, technical sections and natural challenges along the way.

Unlike lift assisted mountain biking in SkiStar Bike Park, trail riding takes place without lifts, meaning you ride under your own power throughout the entire experience.

SkiStar Trail Park at our destinations

SkiStar Trail Park is available at several of our destinations and offers everything from family-friendly flow trails to longer and more technical trails.

Experience trail riding in forests and mountains

Trail riding combines physical activity, nature experiences and technical biking in one activity.

You ride through forests, across mountain terrain and along trails that vary between fast flow sections, technical terrain and calmer connecting sections.

For many riders, Trail Park is the natural place to build skills before progressing to lift assisted mountain biking.
