ONLY RIDE ON MARKED MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS
Please stay on the marked mountain bike trails. In the meantime, there are several of them in Brandnertal. Please respect that biking is not allowed on trails not explicitly cleared for mountain bikers. These paths are reserved for hikers. Conflicts can thus be prevented.
SHORT NOT OFF
Be sure to stay on the marked routes, and do not cut across meadows, pastures, or forest floors. Even if there are people who find so-called “shortcuts” funny – shortcutting hurts the turf and causes great damage as well as soil erosion! If you are observed or caught doing so, you must expect that your ticket will be confiscated without replacement. As you can see, it is really important to us that no meadows, pastures or forest ground outside the marked trails are ridden on and thus damaged.
ONLY DRIVE DURING OPERATING HOURS
The wild animals also need their rest. Especially at dusk, wild animals forage and should not be startled. Therefore, respect that all trails may only be ridden during the operating hours of the bike park. Outside these, the routes of the bike park are closed without exception.
CLOSING GATES & PASTURE GATES
The routes of the Bikepark Brandnertal run for the most part in the pasture area of the local Alps. Here grazing cattle are on the move. Therefore, it is important that pasture gates, barriers or gates are closed again after the passage. Otherwise, grazing livestock may get into areas that are dangerous to fall or become undetectable.
DO NOT LEAVE ANY WASTE IN NATURE
Please make sure that you put all waste, packaging and similar items back in your rucksack and dispose of them properly in the nearest garbage can or at home. If you find trash anywhere during your bike day, it’s best to just take it with you or let our track staff know. Let’s work together to keep our environment clean.
AVOID NOISE & SKID MARKS
Even if one or the other trail would like to elicit a whoop – we are in the mountains and should therefore avoid noise as much as possible. Do not leave any traces in nature. On single trails, shared trails or forest roads, avoid skid marks or slipping tires at all costs. This damages the subsoil and very quickly leads to erosion by water. During the next storm, sections of road can be literally washed away.
SHARED TRAILS AND COMMON AREAS
“Shared trails” are paths that are used jointly by mountain bikers and hikers. These “shared trails” are signposted accordingly for both user groups. Mutual respect and careful driving as well as walking avoids conflicts. Show yourself as a biker on “Shared Trails” from your best side and give hikers the right of way! A friendly greeting between two outdoor enthusiasts never hurts.
ALWAYS DRIVE CONSIDERATELY. RESPECT FLORA & FAUNA
Always ride respectfully – not only on “shared trails” but also on bike park trails. Remember that you too could fall at some point in a blind spot. Keep as quiet as possible when passing grazing animals or wild animals and do not frighten them under any circumstances. Ride slowly past animals.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
Yes, the time has come! The renovation of our chairlifts, which has been planned for years, is now underway and will be completed in summer 2025. As you probably know, the two chairlifts on the Tschengla were very slow due to their design (fixed-grip chairlift), as people get on and off at the same speed as they go up.
The two lifts are now being dismantled and replaced by a state-of-the-art 10-person single-cable gondola lift, with a transport system for your mountain bikes specially developed for bike parks. Relaxed boarding and alighting and super-fast transport to the top take the quality level to a completely new level.
This reduces the time it takes to climb from the Einhornbahn II valley station to the Loischkopf from around 30 minutes to around 5-6 minutes. It is of course also possible to get off halfway. This intermediate exit will be located exactly at the former mountain station of the Einhornbahn II. (Start Tschengla Unchained, Tschäck the Ripper, Whip off…)
We are very excited about this massive improvement in transportation quality and can’t wait to show you everything in 2026!
Despite the new building project, we are trying to offer you as much of a bike park experience as possible during this time. Even if the large-scale renovation project logically brings with it restrictions in ongoing operations, the Brandnertal Bike Park will be in operation.
Access for all bike park visitors is via Brand only. From there, you can take the Dorfbahn and Panoramabahn cable cars to the Burtschasattel. From this central hub, you can either return to the valley station in Brand via the “Parpfienztrail” and “Tschoy Ride,” or (from June 16) via the “Burtschatrail” (or alternatively via Burtschastraße) to the valley station of the Loischkopf cable car, which is expected to remain in operation until August 17. At Loischkopf, the “Tscharlie Tschäplin” trail and the “Tschonny Noxwil,” redesigned in 2024, will be open. It is also possible to ride to the Tschengla. However, the Einhornbahn II cable car is out of service there, and construction traffic is expected. The “Alte Statt Trail” trails and the “Tschäckie Tschan” enduro trail will remain open throughout the season.
The following trails and lifts are out of service for the entire season:
- Einhornbahn II
- Funsport track, Tschengla Unchained, Tschäck the Ripper, Tschack Norris including all variants
Children under the age of 10 are only allowed to use the bike park and the bike trails when accompanied by an adult. Minors are only allowed to use the trails with the consent of the legal guardian.
Yes, the Brandnertal Bike Park routes can be used with e-bikes. But only downhill. Uphill riding on all trails is strictly prohibited for safety reasons. When visiting with an e-bike, please pay attention to the lift transport guidelines. This particularly affects the Loischkopfbahn, on which e-bikes may only be transported with the battery removed!
Because tear offs are often carelessly discarded or unintentionally lost and grazing animals or game could die from them, they are strictly prohibited in the Bikepark Brandnertal. In general, it should be ensured that no trash is left in the mountains. Please take care of nature, take your trash to the valley and dispose it correctly.
