Skill Loop Samnaun

The Skill Loop is designed as an independently skiable practice loop. The aim is to provide low-threshold access to riding technique, in which the most important basics are taught in a structured and practical way. The implementation was carried out in cooperation with Graubünden Bike, the municipality of Samnaun and the Samnaun Guest Information; Samnaun acts as a pilot municipality in Graubünden.
