One thing should be said straight away: park beginners and flow lovers won't get their money's worth here. There is a cog railway that starts in the centre of the village. There are three main routes (each 200 metres in altitude). Firstly: the 1er downhill. Downhill races are regularly held on this angry route. A route for real downhill experts. It is steep, full of stones, root carpets and nasty steps. You're lost here without a big bike. The 2-man downhill is slightly tamer and still very challenging. We recommend the freeride for beginners and freeriders. The highlights on this descent include table jumps, wooden ladders and a drop battery. The alternative is the GoPro Freeride, which is aimed more at experts with its stunts and doubles.
Conclusion Bad Wildbad is and remains a real downhill park. Downhill cracks love the furious descents. Park newcomers, beginners and stunt freeriders are better off in other parks.
