Trail Area
Turracher Höhe

Biking with the gang

The rocking highlight of the Turracher Höhe Trail Area is arguably the versatile 8 kilometer Kornock Trail, offering a panorama that has it all. Views over the lush green meadows of the Styrian-Carinthain Nockberge mountains that alternate with the turquoise glittering waters of Lake Turracher See delight time and again.

The route begins along the Kornock slope and, despite two technically demanding sections, offers a fascinating experience for riders with basic skills and solid fitness.
If you're not yet confident in your technique, we recommend practicing trail skills with one of the bike guides down in the valley.

Along the way, you’ll find rest stops where you can recharge and take in the stunning panorama of the Nock Mountains and Lake Turrach.
Just below the Schafalmbahn, the rollercoaster ride begins: with rollable or jumpable waves, fun berms, wooden bridges, narrow planks, and even a mini carousel of curves.
Shortly before reaching the Almstube, there's a short uphill pedal section – and in between, plenty of scenic spots for a quick break and great views!

For advanced riders, the Kornock Flowtrail offers optional detours to more challenging single trails:

  • Zirben Trail (700 m, intermediate)
    Fast, flowy sections with technical features and optional jumps.
     
  • Schmuggler Trail (690 m, intermediate)
    Berms, rock drops, and "rocket gardens" – smooth, but demanding.
     
  • Smuggler Trail – Rocky Option
    Rock gardens and drops for tech lovers. Challenging, but lots of fun.
     
  • Earl Grey Trail (100 m, difficult)
    A narrow, hand-built trail with tight corners – short, but technically intense.
     
  • Tea House Trail (1.2 km, difficult to very difficult)
    A varied enduro-style trail with technical segments, jumps, bowls, and two black-rated options. A small jumpline awaits at the end.
     
  • Almrush Trail (200 m, intermediate)
    Flowing straight from the Kornock Flow into the alpine meadow: speed, corners, and jumps in open terrain – with good visibility, except at one crest.
     
  • Ibahaps Trail (approx. 200 m, intermediate)
    A short, direct line along the snow fence with jumps and features – fast and technical.
     
  • ÜWI Jump Trail (485 m, difficult)
    For air-time lovers: drops, jumps, step-downs, and rocky root sections. Scouting the trail before riding is recommended.
     
  • Kornock Drop (approx. 100 m, intermediate)
    A triple drop section for confident riders.

Trail Difficulty Rating

  • Turracher Höhe

    Very easy

    Technical difficulty S0

    next

    Very easy

    Turracher Höhe

    Mostly flat and easy trails which are physically not very demanding. Riders should be fit and have a basic knowledge of key bike handling skills.

    Very easy = green

    • Average gradient: 6% max.
    • Gradient over 20 - 30 m max.: 15% max.
    • Trail width: minimum 1 m
    • Curve radius: minimum 3 m

    Technical requirements according to the single trail scale: S0 describes a single trail without any particular difficulties. Mostly forest or meadow paths on a natural surface with good grip, or compact gravel. Steps, rocks or roots are not to be expected.

    Required biking ability: basic trail technique such as position on the bike, tackling curves and braking on loose surface.

  • Turracher Höhe

    Easy

    Technical difficulty S1

    next

    Easy

    Turracher Höhe

    Flow or single trails can be easy. However, an easy trail might be as much as twice as steep as a trail rated very easy, with moderate fitness and coordination requirements. Basic biking technique skills are required to tackle the trail.

    Easy = blue

    • Average gradient: 10% max.
    • Gradient over 20 - 30 m max: 30%.
    • Trail width: minimum 0.8 m
    • Curve radius: minimum 3 m
    • Trail can be in steeper terrain.

    Technical requirements according to the single trail scale: On a trail marked S1 you already have to deal with smaller obstacles such as flat roots, small stones and isolated gulleys. The maximum gradient is 30%. Switchbacks are not to be expected. S1 flow trails have additional rollers and banked corners.

    Required biking abilities: basic trail technique such as position on the bike, riding banked turns, cornering, controlled braking on loose surface and weight shifting.

  • Turracher Höhe

    Moderately difficult

    Technical difficulty S1-S2

    next

    Moderately difficult

    Turracher Höhe

    Flow trails with an average gradient of > 10% are classified as moderate and S1.
    Jump trails are a more difficult version of flow trails with moderate to difficult elements such as steeper banked turns, jumps, gaps, step ups, step downs, shark fins and other elements which also may consist of wood and other materials.

    Intermediate = red

    Moderate single trails beckon with technical challenges such as narrow curves, larger roots, mostly optional jumps and technical elements like stone gardens, rock drops etc. Requires a fair amount of fitness and coordination skills. On an average 20 up to 50% steeper than easy trails.

    • Average gradient: 10% up to 15% max.
    • Gradient over 10 to 30m: 60% max.
    • Single trail trail width: minimum 0.6 m
    • Jumpline trail width: minimum 1.5 m
    • Curve radius: minimum 2 m

    Trail can be in steeper terrain.

    Technical requirement: On S1 trails, you will already have to deal with smaller obstacles such as flat roots, small stones and isolated gullies. The maximum gradient is 30%. Switchbacks are not to be expected. Within the S2 single trail classification you will most likely find trails with larger roots, stones, steps, flat staircases and narrow curves. In some passages, the gradient can reach up to 60%.

    Required biking abilities: advanced MTB riding skills including the ability to brake at all times and keep body tension. Good weight shifting to overcome obstacles as well as advanced trail and jump technique.
