The strengths of the bike parks in Trentino: panoramic views of the Dolomites and long, challenging descents - some even at world champion level. Nevertheless, the 8 bike parks in the north of Italy are now opening in May with even more new features.

Lake Garda probably has the largest trail network of all the Trentino bike spots. This makes it the European favourite of all bikers to this day. But what it doesn't have: Lifts and trails specially built for bikers. Other regions in the Trentino definitely better. Namely these 8 bike parks between the Dolomites, Brenta and the world champion spot Val di Sole:

1st Paganella Bike Park: 3 bike parks become one big one

The locals on the Cima Paganella have been shovelling their paradise since 2010. At first it was just a few stepped rocky trails, but soon three different bike zones emerged: the Molveno zone with flow lines, the Andalo zone with playful, red to dark red descents and the Fai zone, which is home to the gritty, black lines. But the bike park between Brenta and Lake Molveno continues to grow: with the almost 3.5-kilometre-long "Duel" trail and the "Top Gun", which will open this year, the bike park zones are now seamlessly connected. Clearly one of the best bike parks in the Alps!

2nd Bikepark Val di Sole: World Championship flair

Directly after the World Championships, there will be a youth camp with one or two World Championship pro racers.

Since 2008, Val di Sole has already hosted seven downhill and fourcross world championships. It's time again at the end of August. The advantage for all other park visitors: not only the famous Black Snake World Cup course (2.3 km), but also the other four lines, some of which are much easier, are constantly being kept in shape.

A real highlight in the park is the fourcross course at the end: 600 metres of jumps, banked turns and other features await - free access. If you have a Gravity Card, you can use it here for the first time this summer!

The park is located just behind Malé, at the north-eastern entrance to the valley in Commezzadura and has been organising World Cups and World Championships since 2008.

UCI MTB World Championships 2026

The fastest racers in all categories will compete in Daolasa in August: Cross Country, Downhill, E-MTB and Short Track.

Scott Bike Summer Camp

One day after the MTB World Championships, Scott and Val di Sole Bikeland are organising a youth camp (11-17 years) on the world champion trails of Commezzadura. A spectator ticket for the World Championships itself is included free of charge!

Info Bikepark Val di Sole

  • Number of routes: 5
  • Cable cars: 2 (new: Gravity Card Member)

3. bike park Ponte di Legno Tonale

Plus flow trails for the whole family and nature trails over the Tonale Pass.

The bike park with two faces: on the Tonale Pass side, 1.2 to 3.4 kilometres of descents await with the finest flow and views as far as the Presanella glacier, Brenta and Ortler. There are also three special trails for very young riders.

If you switch to the Ponte di Legno and Temù side, however, everything changes: these six forest descents require significantly more knowledge of natural rock and root treatment. As the lifts here shuttle up to an altitude of 2242 metres, the season is relatively short.

Info Bikepark Ponte di Legno Tonale

  • Number of trails: 11 trails
  • Cable cars: 5 (Gravity-Card)
  • Season: June - September
  • Highlights: The long flowlines with super panorama on the Tonale side
  • Info: pontedilegnotonale.com

Note: In summer 2026, the bike park in Tonale on the Trentino side will be closed due to construction work on the Valbiolo line.

4th Fassa Bikepark: New lines and new lift

There's a new lift in the Fassa Bike Park this year and the Enduro World Cup will be taking place from 26-28 June.Photo: Trentino Marketing / Val di FassaThere's a new lift in the Fassa Bike Park this year and the Enduro World Cup will be taking place from 26-28 June.

Located in the heart of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site and so widely branched out between Col Rodella and Belvedere that its 18 trails can be reached from three locations. The cable cars in Campitello, Canazei and Alba take you to the access points at an altitude of over 2000 metres. At the top, you have a 360-degree view of the most beautiful mountains in the world. It is fitting that the trails initially wind playfully through the alpine meadows. But as soon as you reach the tree line, you should concentrate on the much steeper, stepped and rocky hairpin bends in front of the suspension fork. It's no coincidence that the enduro elite are looking forward to the World Cup event in the Fassa Bike Park again this year. German racer Ines Thoma advises: "With the lifts, you can also reach any number of panoramic trails outside the already gigantic bike park!"

Enduro World Cup

And since 2023, Folgaria has been home to the Bike Park FolgaRide on Monte Maggio.

7th + 8th San Martino Bike Area & Colbricon Bike Park

There are actually two small parks basking in the gigantic Pala Group backdrop. That's why it's not referred to as a bike park, but as the San Martino Bike Arena. The fact is: you need a lot of suspension travel and a good eye for line choice for the four lines on the Alpe Toniola. Especially for the legendary, steep, blocked and five-kilometre-long "Thriller" line. The relatively new lines on the neighbouring Colbricon lift are easier to surf and are connected to the Bike Arena via the "Paludis" trail. Only the Jumpline should be approached with a little more caution.
