Description

Learn to bike on real trails! That's why we created the Foppa Trail. This "green" trail is ideal for bike beginners to gain their first trail experience. Needless to say that it was built by bike professionals, guaranteeing that fun and safety are the top priorities.

The mountain railway takes you effortlessly up to Foppa, allowing you to save all your energy for the descent. If you want to warm up first, you can cycle up from Flims on a paved alpine road.

The Foppa Trail runs through a beautiful pine forest over gentle bumps and dips, winding its way left and right. The gradient is so moderate that you can slowly get used to the descents. The more confident you feel, the more speed you can pick up and even use some of the bumps to jump off. The curves are slightly sloped, which helps you improve your cornering technique.

Here you can let off steam with your cycling buddies or family all day long. And once you're really fit on the Foppa Trail, you'll be ready for our more challenging trails.

Welcome to the bike family!
