- Biker Cross (final slope): delicately shaped jumps, rollers and banked runs.
- Flowline (starting at the mid-station): a graveled slope with numerous easy obstacles. These include tables, small step-ups, and step-downs as well as wooden Northshore trails and drops.
- Jack Lumber Trail: Jack Lumber is the first Northshore trail in the Bikepark and is wrapped around a massive rock a few meters above the ground. It should only be ridden by experienced bikers because you might risk a heavy fall.
- Dirtpark: here you can get some AIRTIME. The Dirtpark offer both beginners and pros the chance to enhance their style.
- Downhill track Pro: Austrias longest downhill track on the Planai is a true legend. It starts at 1830 meters ASL and can be accessed via the Planai gondola. From there, you can ride down through beautiful natural surroundings; pass the reservoir lake till you finally reach the mid-station at 1325m ASL, where you are provided with a washing station and the basic tools.
- Downhill track Worldcup: Top to bottom – here you can ride on the trail of Gee Atherton, Sam Hill, and Lapierre rider Sam Blenkinsop, who have all been able to win a World Cup race on the Planai. It’s not for the faint-hearted.
- Downhill Advanced: The downhill advanced track was built along the former world cup downhill ride and is an excellent way of bypassing the difficult passages.
- Pump track: is a circuit specifically designed to gain speed and keep it up without pedaling, just using a dynamic riding style, and thus improving your technique lap by lap. It’s the perfect place to get fully exhausted after a couple of downhill rides.
