Beschreibung
The day begins with a demanding ascent, which leads from Heinzenberg up to Glaspass and further into Safiental. The true challenge awaits you on the demanding descent, which enjoys a legendary reputation among bikers. The old pack trail, which winds almost vertically downwards, passes through rocky sections and offers a unique riding experience. At times, the path snakes between impressive rock bands and requires utmost concentration and riding skills.
The highlight of this fast descent is the small village of Safien Platz, which is located at the end of the pack trail. Its picturesque location and charming atmosphere invite you to take a well-deserved break and enjoy the impressions of this unforgettable stage. The combination of challenging route, breathtaking nature, and cultural setting makes this stage a highlight for every passionate mountain biker.
Geheimtipp
The Berggasthaus Beverin at Glaspass is perfect for a refreshment before the descent to Safien Platz. Alternatively, you can also refresh yourself after the descent at the Gasthaus Rathaus in Safien Platz.
Sicherheitshinweis
Push section: For safety reasons, it is recommended to push the mountain bike on the descent between Glaspass and Safien Platz at the steepest sections. Especially in wet conditions, the roots can be very slippery.
Ausrüstung
For a demanding mountain bike route, the right equipment is crucial to ensure a safe and enjoyable riding experience. Essential items include a sturdy mountain bike with all-terrain tires, stable suspension, and reliable brakes. A well-fitting helmet is indispensable to protect your head from injuries.
Furthermore, breathable functional clothing is recommended, which wicks away moisture while protecting against wind and weather. Gloves not only provide a better grip but also protect the hands from abrasive impacts. A hydration backpack is practical to always carry enough fluids, especially on longer routes.
For navigation and route recording, a GPS device or a special outdoor app on your smartphone can be useful. A small repair kit with tools, spare tube, and pump allows you to independently fix minor problems on the way.
Lastly, it is important to check the weather conditions and the state of the route before starting your ride to adjust your equipment accordingly. With well-thought-out gear, nothing stands in the way of a successful and safe mountain biking route.
