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!
Since the Einhornbahn II will not be in operation in 2025 due to the new railway construction, it is better not to go down to Tschengla, but to return to Brand by bike (Loischkopfbahn – Schmalzbödiletrail – Parpfienztrail – Tschoy Ride). In the event that you end up on the Tschengla via the “Alte Statt Trail” or the “Tschäckie Tschan”, you also have the option of taking the Trail Taxi (bus line 581) back to Brand. Please check the timetable for line 581 in advance and remember that the bus can only transport a limited number of bikes.
Stay calm. Secure the crash site and provide first aid.
Inform the bike park staff via the Bikepark emergency number. Bikepark emergency: +43 650 9514393. We will then organize the further procedure. In the meantime, you can stop other bikers to help you effectively secure the accident scene. Send someone to the nearest emergency sign, these have a position number written on them. This way you can tell the bike park staff the exact position so that someone will be with you as soon 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.
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!
