“Gentle Mobility” master plan: BIKE ARGE adds new activities for biking-mad families
A training track and three new trails have been created near the Sonnenrast chairlift. The MTB Family Area Streiteck boasts 1.4 kilometres of trails and offers everything that beginners and more advanced bikers need to practise and try out new things. The Sonnenrast Trail is a 1.8-kilometre-long flow trail with flowing turns, playful rollers, boardwalks, a spectacular wooden spiral and fantastic panoramic views. Right next door are the Upper and Lower Streiteck Trails (0.2 km and 0.6 km respectively), two medium-difficulty lines with optional jumps, drops, boardwalks and other familiar trail elements. The Sonnenrast Trails form part of a transregional master plan backed by the LEADER programme and the State of Tyrol. The process has been instigated by the Bike ARGE Association and is being supported by the company ALLEGRA.
Sonnenrast Trail and MTB Family Area Streiteck will be opened on 28th July 2023.

Sonnenrast Trail
The Sonnenrast Trail is the main draw for beginners and the perfect way to warm up. This trail offers magnificent panoramic views of the lush, green mountain landscape in the Kitzbühel Alps. But the Sonnenrast Trail is also well suited to advanced bikers, as it contains some spectacular elements such as the eight-metre-tall wooden spiral as well as wooden sections through steeper terrain. Well-designed turns and rollers that can either be jumped or skirted round offer even more options for more seasoned riders preparing to tackle the Hahnenkamm and Fleckalm Trails.
