シュトゥーバイアルプスのバイクパーク・トップ20

An absolute classic in the Innsbruck bike park

One of the highlights of the Bike Republic for me, too, as I prefer natural trails. It's also very popular with hikers any day of the week.

A super challenging trail on the quiet side. Every meter of elevation gain, up here to the trailhead, was worth it. I usually see it like this at S2-S3. If you like the Leiterberg Trail, for example, you'll also love the Kleble Alm Trail.

In my opinion, it's predominantly a black trail. It's very rocky in places, with established bypasses. Very loose and slippery in dry conditions. Even the larger rocks are slippery. It's relatively steep and very exposed in places, with serious consequences. Only a few sections, in my opinion, are rated red. Definitely not for beginners. Experienced and seasoned mountain bikers could manage this technically very demanding trail.

The trail starts after a meadow path below the tree line and is still reasonably rideable even when wet, despite the forest floor and S4 classification. I would have given it a maximum of S3. There are a few blocked sections, but there is almost always enough space to brake. Shifting is very helpful on the hairpin bends - I think it gets tight without it. Some sections are rockier than is usual in the forest. There are no large root carpets with steps that cannot be rolled over. All in all, the trail is only a slight increase in the difficult sections of the Klebealm Trail. All key sections are clearly visible and if necessary you can dismount and push in time.

Especially in summer, lots of paragliders take off from there, which has led to some exciting moments for both the kids and us parents. Not every takeoff looks like a dream takeoff!

It takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on your fitness level, to climb up to the Elferhütte. Before or on the way back, the Elfer panoramic restaurant right at the mountain station offers a good selection of hot and cold dishes.

It was so pleasantly surprisingly beautiful for us to get off here when we took the cable car from Neustift to this mountain station for the first time. (What a luxury if one can use the Stubai Super Card😲) And if the weather is good...and there is a restaurant nearby and there are well-marked hiking trails and there are sights and... what more could you ask for?
