One catch first: the park is only open from Friday to Sunday. Visitors get to the top by drag lift. From here, three routes lead back to the lift station: the Downhill, the Freeride and the Blue Line. The latter two are similar. They are equipped with many well-built wooden features: drops, gaps and berms. Good for beginners and park novices who want to slowly feel their way towards freeride stunts. For advanced riders, however, the routes still have plenty of appeal. Halfway down, there are wooden stunts on a small plateau. The two routes then lead back to the lift station via berms. Shortly before the valley station, there are three drops to choose from. The downhill route is a fairly tame but not unfun descent, peppered with root fields and berms. You can easily manage here without a big bike.
