Velill Trail
Signature Trail in Ischgl, Tyrol
High Alpine Delight: An epic natural trail awaits you here! The Velil Trail offers 10 km and nearly 1,500 meters of pure downhill pleasure of the highest class. Equally challenging and scenic. The Samnaun mountain backdrop is a grand spectacle of mountain biking! The endless curves and rugged forest passages serve as the supporting cast. At Idjoch, we almost touch the 3,000-meter mark, while at Velill, we venture into one of the highlights of the MTB Arena Paznaun Ischgl.
Signature Trail in Ischgl, Tyrol
The Velill Trail is an alpine dream come true – rocks, a mountain stream, abandoned huts and a dense forest at the end.
The Velill Trail starts at the Idjoch Pass in approx. 2,800 m above sea level and runs across 9.3 km and 1,380 altitude metres downhill into the valley. It nestles naturally in the alpine mountain landscape, meanders along the slope and traverses between large rocks. Green glimmering layers show through time and again – a sign of the so-called lower Engadin window.
The Velill Trail in the MTB Arena Paznaun-Ischgl has been named after the stream which runs along the route most of the time. The crisp high-alpine trail gets a bit gentler from the point where it meets the Velillbach stream. The trail picks up the gradient of the stream, crossing it time and again.
WORTH KNOWING
Hard, harder, Ischgl Ironbike: Anyone who has participated in this event can confirm. After all, it is one of the toughest bike races in Europe!
INSIDER TIP
Ride the Velill Trail at sunset. Take the last lift to the mountain, perhaps embark on a small tour up there, and then bike down into the valley with the last rays of the sun.
