Feuerkogel Downhill Course

One of Austria’s most beautiful but also most challenging downhill courses!

The 5.6 kilometer long course starts just above the top station of Feuerkogel gondola at 1600 meters above sea level. The trail is marked with signs and paint and leads across pastures (beware of cows!) and along the ski run to a wooden ramp across a fence where the fun starts! A series of long, drawn-out curves is followed by the course’s steepest and fastest section: let go of your brakes as much as possible and don’t forget to look ahead! Keep in mind that an official hiking trails is to your right! Next comes a bumpy meadow trail followed by a gnarly single trail in through a forest. Out of the forest the toughest part is waiting for you: the super steep avalanche chute! Slow down and smile! Fantastic views of Lake Traunsee! Things will be getting easier from here on: some fast curves take you to the course’s last section, a selective and narrow passage through a forest, before it ends at the parking lot of Feuerkogel gondola. Biking washing facilities are available at the parking lot. Protective gear and helmets are mandatory! This course is not suitable for beginners! In wet conditions you should slap on your mud tires for good grip. For detailed information please contact the Ebensee Tourist Office.
