Most visitors come for the downhill run. The chairlift takes you up 500 metres in altitude. There are two routes. A downhill and a freeride route. On the downhill, you only want to ride a big bike. Because the route is rugged and blocked. Steep descents, root carpets, stone steps and slate slabs make the descent a challenge. Experienced downhillers love it. Park newcomers and even many beginners should feel their way slowly. The Wildride freeride route, on the other hand, leads tamely towards the valley station. Something has changed here in recent years. The Wildride has been upgraded with lots of table jumps, berms and curve combos. Quite nice, especially for park newcomers and families. However, park freeriders will find more fun elsewhere.
Conclusion The downhill course in Todtnau rightly has its fan club. For families and park newcomers, however, only the Wildride remains.
