Who in your group rides what
Whether everyone in your group gets a day at Zillertal - the grades on offer, the named zones, and how mixed abilities split up.
Mostly easy-medium singletrails suitable for fit beginners and intermediates; harder DH options at neighboring Bikepark Hochzillertal/Kaltenbach.
GROUP SPLIT: families/beginners ride the singletrails and Monster Roller/Mountain Cart; stronger riders link to Bikepark Hochzillertal-Kaltenbach and Zillertal Arena singletrails. Gondola uplift.
Family-friendly focus: Spieljoch fun park, practice routes for beginners/children, pump track; Monster Roller/Mountain Cart for non-bikers in the group.
The riding
