One of the best parts about medium/large sized bike parks - as Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis - is that there’s almost always an option for every different kind of rider, from beginner to advanced. In this particular park, Milky Way is exactly the ideal route for beginners, families, and in general for groups with different riding levels. This is because Milky Way doesn't require advanced biking skills, but still promises a lot of fun on the descents. Beginners will find their flow connecting long and high shaped berms, while advanced riders will try to link the small jumps and doubles, playing around the whole width of the trail - which is definitely enough.

Description

The trail starts just next to the others at the top of the gondola, which takes you - in almost no time - from the parking lot at the bottom to the top of the resort. Milky way and some other trails run one next to the other until the bottom. This allows you to mix different trails in different sections all along the way down, mixing Milky Way with some more advanced trails. Sometimes you’ll find forest roads cutting across the mountain, and it’s here where all the trails get together.

Once you arrive at the bottom, the skills park is waiting for you: there are endless wooden structures with shaped artificial drops and jumps of different heights and difficulties. Start small, get confident, improve, and go bigger!

The trail is ridden very often, but the shapers are doing an amazing job keeping it mellow and well maintained all through the summer season.

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.
