Description

To reach the start you need to be prepared to climb up a short way with your bike from the Langwied lift station on the Kitzsteinhorn, or via the Maiskogel/ Astenweg.

The trail has a 600 metre vertical drop over roughly 5 kilometres, finishing up next to the beautiful Klammsee on the Kaprun valley floor. From the lake you can follow a road along the valley to the Kitzsteinhorn Gletscherjet station.

Difficulty

Moderate

Mostly stable trail tread with some variability, with unavoidable obstacles 8in/20cm tall or less. Other obstacles such as rock gullies and steep sections may exist. Ideal for lower intermediate riders.
