The trail for mountainbiker

The Gurtenbahn cable car takes you to the start of the bike trail in comfort. Since the early 2000s, mountain bikers have enjoyed this attractive, city-close trail, which offers great fun and is of medium difficulty (red). In spring 2025, the 2.4 km trail with a 240 m descent was completely rebuilt, extending it by around 700 m.
The GurtenTrail 2.0 is a progressive flow trail with around 40 jumps, numerous bends and many other creative trail features. All obstacles on the main line can be rolled over. At the end of the trail, on the third floor of the car park, there is a bike wash that is available to all mountain bikers free of charge.
