The Bikepark Brandnertal was opened in summer 2014. Thanks to the fact that it can be ridden early in the year, its good accessibility and, above all, its range of offers, the Bikepark Brandnertal has managed to establish an excellent reputation within the bike scene in a very short space of time. It is now one of the top three bike parks in Austria and is also popular with downhill fans from Switzerland.

However, the bike park alone is no longer enough to cater to the growing target group of all-mountain and enduro bikers in the future. With the help of the Swiss trail construction company Trailworks, the park is being expanded into a comprehensive area. The eight newly planned trails include an attractive single trail network and enduro trails. Two of the eight trails will extend the existing bike park in order to meet the strong demand there too.

New trail enables merger

The bike park itself was previously operated with the Einhornbahn II. The Loischkopfbahn, the feeder to the second, higher bike park section, is due to open in the middle of this year. The park management's plan is to also open the "Tschonny Noxwil" and "Tscharlie Tschaplin" downhill and freeride trails on the Leischkopf in mid-August.

The new Loischkopfbahn also makes it possible for mountain bikers to ride from the mountain station over and down to Brand. Two new flow trails are being built for this purpose: The "Parpfienz Trail" will have an easy level of difficulty and will create the trail connection from the Loischkopf area to the Brand area. The "Tschoy Ride" starts after the Parpfienz Trail. The flowline leads into the valley to Brand and is designed to offer fun for beginners and advanced bikers alike. The opening of these two trails is planned for mid-September 2019.

The single trail and enduro route "Burtscha Trail", "Löcher Trail", "Alte Statt Trail" and "Tschäckie Tschan" are due to be completed by mid-2020. These are natural trails that ride down from the mountain stations of the Panorama, Einhorn and Loischkopf cable cars. Thanks to the "Löcher Trail", it will then also be possible to ride from Tschengla down to Bürserberg on a single trail.

However, the fact that construction work has begun does not mean that the bike park is closed - on the contrary. The existing downhill trails have been open since May 3rd.
