The trail for mountainbike cyclists

The Gurtenbahn cable car takes you to the start of the bike trail in comfort. Since the early 2000s, mountain bikers have enjoyed an attractive, city-based route with a high fun factor and moderate difficulty (red). In spring 2025, the 2.5-kilometer trail with a 240-meter descent was completely rebuilt, extending it by around 700 meters. The GurtenTrail 2.0 is a progressive flow trail with around 40 jumps, numerous curves, and many other creative trail features. All obstacles on the main line can be rolled over. At the end of the trail, on parking deck 3, there is a bike wash facility that is available to all mountain bikers free of charge.

Middle station: stop on request

Boarding and alighting at the Grünenboden middle station (stop on request) is only possible until 20:00.

The downhill trail is open daily (the trail is not lit). For the sake of wildlife, the trail should not be used at night. If the trail has to be closed due to prolonged rain or other natural events, information will be posted on the GurtenTrail Instagram account.

The trail can be ridden for free.
