• We use the cable cars only with clean bikes.
• We do not ride with child seats (no matter in which form) or bicycle trailers!

Riding on the trails is at your own risk! We assume no liability for accidents or damage of property. The instructions of the cable cars’ staff must be followed. If a trail is closed (sign at the trail’s start), riding on the trail is absolutely prohibited. If the closure is ignored, your lift ticket can be withdrawn. Parts of the trails are on roads of public transport - here the road traffic regulations (StVO) apply.

If you find someone who has injured themself:

Secure accident site! Administer first aid! Make an emergency call specifying place of accident (name of trail, number on sign, if available) and kind of injury. You can also report an accident at all cable car stations. 

Mountain rescue service: 140

Furthermore, we recommend downloading the “SOS EU Alp App”. This app automatically sends your position and makes an emergency call.

The level of difficulties of single trails describes the character of the trails in good weather conditions and during snow-free period. Following criteria play an important role: trail condition and terrain, obstacles (steps, stairs), gradient in %, berms (radius, length, gradient, obstacles), trail width, jumps, fall protection systems depending on gravel bed. Following difficulty levels exist:

• Very easy single trails are marked green (S0). Green single trails are ideal for beginners and mountain bikers with a little or no trail experience. Basic knowledge of riding techniques, such as right position on the bike, balancing and correct use of brakes, is necessary.
• Easy single trails are marked blue (S1-S2). They are perfect for beginners and advanced riders. However, advanced riding techniques and trail experience are required. Blue single trails demand a good sense of balance with weight displacement to overcome obstacles and secure braking and turning technique.
• Single trails with moderate difficulty are marked red (S2-S3). Red single trails are for experienced riders with a lot of trail experience. Special riding technique, a good/excellent sense of balance, turning, braking and jumping technique and weight displacement to overcome obstacles. Riding over steps and mastering hairpin bend shouldn’t be a problem for you.
• Difficult single trails are marked black (S3 and more difficult). For trail experts with a lot of experience. Excellent riding technique is needed to deal with very challenging sections. Furthermore, you need an excellent sense of balance, perfect a riding technique to ride hairpin bends, excellent braking and jumping techniques as well as various trial techniques.
