MOUNTAIN BIKING
📍 Cross-country (XC) trails are being marked out as the snow melts.
Given the heavy snowfall this winter, please contact the Tourist Office in advance to find out which trails are open and marked.
For routes that normally start at the top of a ski lift – as these are currently closed – you will need to take a different path to reach the starting point. This therefore increases the distance and elevation gain of certain routes.
