SLAO’s Lilla Gröna – Important information about lift assisted biking

Before you head out on the biking trails, it is important that you know the biker’s rules.

The rules are there to help bikers ride safely, show consideration and reduce the risk of accidents.

Good technique reduces the risk of injury – use a guide or instructor.
The biking school may have priority in certain lifts.
A well-maintained bike makes biking safer, easier and more fun.
A helmet is compulsory when biking.
Deter thieves by locking your bike, even out on the trails.
Be aware of the risk of dropping your bike and other equipment when using chairlifts.
Fatigue increases the risk of accidents, so build up your fitness and strength before the season.
Show extra consideration for children, who often make quick and unexpected movements.
The bike patrol and trail staff work for your safety and wellbeing.
If you lose each other in the lift area, contact the staff, who will be happy to help you.

The difficulty grading of biking trails is set by the facility and indicates the level of skill a biker should have to ride a specific biking trail safely and confidently. For example, some trails may be machine-built while others are natural trails.

Biking trails are for biking only; hikers should use hiking trails. Trails marked with downhill symbols are open for biking.

Green – Easy biking trail
Blue – Intermediate biking trail
Red – Advanced biking trail
Black – Expert trail for biking
Purple – PRO trail or extreme trail for biking

The grading of biking trails in SkiStar Bike Park applies to lift assisted biking and is not comparable to trail riding.

On the trail descriptions page, you can read more about what green, blue, red, black and purple biking trails mean.

Flow trail

Flow trails are built with a smoother and usually wider surface and have a high proportion of berms, jumps and rollers. Speeds are higher than on natural singletrack trails.

Technical trail

Technical trails have rougher and more natural surfaces with a high proportion of natural or organic elements; rocks, roots, drop-offs and steeper slopes. Speeds are generally lower than on flow trails.

Mixed trail

Mixed trails contain a combination of both singletrack and jumps. Sections with berms are combined with more technical biking to create varied biking trails.

Plus trail

Plus trails have a high frequency of advanced features, such as jumps, drops or gaps. These require or actively encourage the biker’s wheels to leave the ground. Without good jumping ability, these trails will involve a consistently higher level of risk. The trails are colour-graded as usual to indicate the level of challenge posed by the jump and drop features. The colour of the plus symbol relates to the gradient of the trail. Only bike on trails with a suitable difficulty level for your ability. Standard-graded trails may contain some of these features, but not with the same frequency, scale or focus as a plus-graded trail with '+'.

Look out for the + symbol on trail maps and name signs to help you decide whether the trail is suitable for you.

Always follow the facility’s instructions for how to use the lift.
Do not wear loose-hanging scarves, cords, straps or similar items that could get caught in the lift or equipment.
Boarding and disembarking may only take place at designated areas.
Leave the disembarking area immediately.
It is not permitted to stay in the area between the disembarking point and the return wheel.
Persons under 125 cm may not ride a chairlift unless accompanied by a person over 140 cm.
Do not swing the chairlift seat.
Never jump from the chairlift seat.
Do not litter in the lift or on the biking trails.
Damaged or lost equipment is generally not compensated.
The lift pass may not be used by anyone else without the facility’s approval.
When checked, the biker must be able to show the lift pass and prove that they are the correct holder.

Lift-accessed biking means all biking that takes place within the facility’s biking trails.
Lift-accessed biking is a sport that may involve risks for the participant.
Carelessness when lift-accessed biking may result in liability for damages.
An upside-down bike on the biking trail indicates an accident.
The facility is only responsible in accordance with the safety regulations during and in connection with the lifts’ normal opening hours.
The facility’s biking trails may not be accessed outside opening hours without permission from the facility.
The facility’s terrain vehicles and other vehicles may be present on the biking trails, even during opening hours.
Weather conditions and trail surfaces can deteriorate so quickly that risks increase, even on marked biking trails.
Lift-accessed biking outside marked biking trails is prohibited.
For safety reasons, lift-accessed biking should be practised together with others.
Lift-accessed biking is not permitted on closed trails.
Easy trails are considered low-speed trails.
Trails, tracks and jumps may not be built or constructed without permission from the facility’s responsible staff.
Competitions and competition-style training may not be carried out without permission from responsible staff.
Competitions and competition-style training must take place separately from general biking.
Notify staff if you discover any obstacle, danger or accident in the lift or on the trails.
