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?
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.
The practice of mountain biking is associated with sport-specific dangers. Users of the mountain bike trails must be aware and take note that riding on the trails or practicing the sport involves risks. Even the greatest possible care and compliance with the terms of use are no guarantee for a risk-free practice of mountain biking!
The risks result, for example, from the terrain, natural or artificial obstacles, weather conditions, driving errors, lack of driving skills, overestimation of one’s own abilities, other people, vehicles or animals, and other factors. Falls with damage to property, body injuries can result from these risks. This concerns not only the own person or objects but also other persons and objects. The user has to take care of a sufficient insurance of the risks connected with the sport practice himself (e.g. liability, accident, salvage, etc.). Find out more in ourterms of use!
Even if you already know routes – sections are sometimes renewed or completely rebuilt. So it is necessary that on each visit you roll down the routes on the first run, stopping if necessary to look more closely at difficult places to assess the risk as good as possible.
Because the finder of a ticket could pass it on. Please make sure that you do not lose your ticket. Stow this in a zippered bag or in your shoe (between insole and shoe). This works great and a shoe is just very rarely lost. In the case of personalized multi-day or season tickets, replacement of the ticket is only possible upon presentation of the invoice and for a manipulation fee of EUR 5.00.
trailsWhile the lift is being rebuilt, we are also carrying out construction work on various trails. This affects routes in the “lower section” on Bürserberg. The finish area of the bike park is also being completely redesigned, as the construction of the station requires the relocation of the trails in the finish area. We are looking forward to presenting the revised routes to you and ask for your understanding until then!
