E-bikes and e-mountain bikes have long been an integral part of a summer in the Alps – and offer a new, enjoyable way to experience nature on two wheels. The electric motor assists as you pedal, without taking away from the active riding experience. Whether you’re tackling a challenging climb or taking a leisurely ride through the picturesque countryside – with an e-bike, every ride is a pleasure.
In Lech Zürs, modern e-bikes and e-mountain bikes are available to hire from numerous sports shops – by the hour, for day trips or even for the whole duration of your holiday.
Single trails and North Shore trails can be found at the Burgwald Biketrail, the first Freeride and Enduro are in Vorarlberg. Beginner mountain bikers and the ambitious will have the opportunity to spend plenty of time here, to train and to explore their limits. The trail is located right next to the Bergbahn Lech-Oberlech cable car and the Petersboden chairlift. The difficulty levels on the trails cater to cyclists of different abilities. As a result, the tried and tested colour scale of the ski slope has been adopted here as well: blue = easy, red = easy, red = easy. Berms and wooden curves, North Shore elements and drops challenge the bikers on the Burgwald Trail. Without a doubt, however, the highlights in Burgwald are the 50-m-long Anaconda-North Shore Element, the Skinny Boardwalk and the Patrese jump with a double road gap.
Easy-Line (blue) for beginners and families.
Red and black sections featuring North Shore elements, drops, the Anaconda Boardwalk and the Patrese jump – pure adrenaline.
The Oberlech cable car and Petersbodenbahn take you straight to the trail.
Please note: Helmets are compulsory on the Burgwald trails. Elbow pads, a full-face helmet and protective gear (torso, knees, elbows) as well as gloves are recommended.
