    top to bottom

Alpenbikepark Chur gives you five varied downhill trails in three difficulty levels (black / red / blue). A full 1000 metres of elevation lie between the start at 1595 m and the valley station at 595 m, split into two sections (top / bottom).

The trails are packed with features like berms, jumps, North Shore features, drops, root and rock sections. They’re made for proper full-send riding – speed & airtime come by the bucketload at Alpenbikepark Chur! If you’re just starting out, our two blue trails, Brambi Flow and Chur Flow, are the best fit.

Thanks to the bike park’s relatively low altitude (lower trails: 1170 – 595 m, upper trails: 1595 – 1170 m), Alpenbikepark is also a well-established draw outside the main season. Pre-season in spring is usually planned from as early as March, and the autumn season often runs well into November or even December.

Our Brambi Flow is fun for everyone! Whether you’re a beginner or a true bike park shredder – everyone gets their kicks here.

A wide, not very steep trail with lots of berms, hips, jumps and other “playful features”, where you can take it easy or really let it rip – your call. Built in spring 2015.

Moderately steep and really varied. The main line works great for beginners – freeride pros will love the punchy side lines with jumps, drops, step-ups and step-downs. Together with Brambi Flow, it makes up the blue line from the very top all the way down into town.
