7187 Schmuggler Trail

The long, partly exposed trail runs close to the border throughout and requires very good fitness. Along the mountain ridge, the compact gravel road winds its way through high-alpine terrain. Some climbs are so steep that the bike has to be pushed in places. After the Greitspitzbahn cable car, an outstanding trail section follows, creating a special sense of freedom at over 2,700 metres. The route runs along the ridge all the way to the Salaaser Kopf. The downhill section then begins. The remote character of the route soon makes it clear why smugglers once chose this path: apart from a few cows, hardly anyone is encountered here. A relaxed forest road leads on to the Alp Trider Sattel mountain station. The Trider Sattel Trail then provides varied downhill fun again and leads to the destination, Alp Trida. From there, the Flimsattelbahn cable car takes riders back to the starting point of the trail. Alternatively, the Duty Free Trail is a good option for extending the ride.
