Description
BikePark Schladming, also known as Planai Bike Park, is a lift-served Alpine bike park above Schladming in Styria's Enns valley, with 12 gondola-accessed trails covering around 42km of riding, from gentle blue flow trails to the black-graded former World Cup downhill course. There is terrain for every level, from a dedicated beginner practice area and pump track through to technical jump lines and root-strewn black runs, and the wider valley also has a network of waymarked gravel routes for riders who want to explore beyond the lift.

The Trails
- Bike Area (Blue): a 0.7km beginner practice zone at the valley station with three easy, low-gradient routes for first-timers and families.
- Uphill Flow Trail (Blue): a 6.8km, 483m climbing trail for riders and e-bikers who want to pedal to the top rather than take the gondola, running through forest with e-charging points and mountain huts along the way.
- Flowline (Blue): around 16km of descending trail at a gentle gradient from the summit down toward the valley, with wide bends and easy obstacles, split into upper and lower sections.
- Rookie Downhill (Red): 3.1km, technical but manageable, aimed at riders progressing from flow trails into gravity riding.
- Kessler Line (Red): 2km of moderate technical singletrack.
- Downtown Line (Red): 1.8km, a moderate run finishing near the valley station.
- Pro Downhill (Black): 2.2km from the top station to the mid-station, following the historic World Cup downhill line with roots and steep bends.
- Worldcup Downhill (Black): 2.6km from the mid-station to the valley station, the former UCI World Cup downhill venue.
- 99 Jumpline (Black): 3.3km of tables, step-ups and doubles for riders who want airtime.
- Monster Jumpline (Black): a short, 0.5km big-hit line with jumps up to 12 metres.
- Jack Lumber Trail (Black): a natural, technical trail rebuilt in 2025 with downhill professional Andreas Kolb.
- Mini Pumptrack: a compact pump track in the Hopsiland area at the base station, built for younger riders to work on balance and technique.
A day uplift ticket covering the bike park costs around 58.50 euros for an adult (44.50 euros youth, 30 euros child), with season passes and multi-day tickets also available. Ticket prices are set each season, so check the current bike ticket prices before you travel.
Gravel Riding
Beyond the lift-served bike park, the wider Schladming-Dachstein valley has a waymarked network of gravel and forest-road routes, with easy loops of 16 to 28km, moderate routes up to 75km and longer multi-day options over 100km, starting from Schladming and surrounding villages. It is a genuinely separate riding experience from the bike park's gravity trails, better suited to a gravel or hardtail bike and a full day out in the valley.
Getting Here
- The main car park is at the Planai valley station on Coburgstrasse, Schladming, with around 1,000 free spaces including an underground car park and direct access to the gondola.
