A taster tour that is perfect for settling in. The full range of an MTB trail awaits you on a compact route: downhill and uphill on tarmac and gravel. Alongside, a singletrail over sticks, stones and roots invites you to test yourself.

Tour #2: Starting mountain biking at St. Georgen
Over 16 km this tour takes you past a cultural highlight in the evening or morning. The highest point of the route lies at 1432 m and leads you past the St. Georgen chapel, which is well worth a visit. It is thought to date from around the 12th century and is decorated with many frescoes. The chapel is not freely accessible, but still worth seeing. You will find the key at the old farmhouse.
This mountain bike route takes you from the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis bike park along the tarmac cycle path to St. Zeno. Keep left at signpost S162 and follow the cycle path on to St. Georgen. The same way takes you back to the starting point.
Tour #3: MTB in Tyrol on the Bifang tour
This mountain bike route also starts at the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis bike park and follows the cycle path straight to Serfaus. In the village centre you turn right at the church onto the Bifang and up to the Leithe Wirt. After a leisurely, fortifying break you continue along the meadow path to Serfaus and back along the cycle path to Fiss.
The Bifang tour is an easy route for the whole family and for everyone who wants to enjoy mountain biking to the full. At the highest point, at 1651 m, there is a welcoming inn that invites you to linger and gives children room to play and let off steam.
Tour #4: One of the loveliest mountain bike tours in Tyrol for the whole family
Another mountain bike highlight for the whole family is the Wodenturm Neuegg route. A total of 14.4 km practically beg to be enjoyed. Thanks to the Super Summer Card Serfaus Fiss Ladis the cable car takes the sting out of the climbs. At the top you are rewarded with a magnificent view into the Kaunertal and of the Kaunergrat.
Grill, chill and play is the motto at the Rabuschl, while the Wodenturm and the Jausenstation Neuegg offer a fine spot to rest and enjoy. Starting from the bike park along the cycle path to Fiss you reach the centre, where you keep left just before the Kulturhaus (F009) and after the short climb turn right towards Obladis.
Then at signpost F007 you turn left up the field track as far as Sägegasse F2025 and turn right towards Rabuschl. Along the Urgtalweg you continue to signpost F031 and then right to the Wodeturm.
Continuing on the route you ride along the tarmac track past Neuegg to Ladis. Through the centre you reach the valley station of the Sonnenbahn Ladis-Fiss, which takes you back to Fiss. The same route through the village brings you back to the bike park starting point.
Tour #5: Sporty motivation over the Beutelkopf
One of the punchier beginner MTB tours is the Beutelkopf loop. Over 12 km you enjoy a beautiful view of Serfaus and Fiss. You also enjoy an impressive mountain backdrop at 1799 m. At the Leithe Wirt or the Möseralm you can recharge your batteries and take a well-earned break.
You start at the bike park and ride along forest track no. 13 to Serfaus, then on and up to the right at the church. At Apart Rubin (S026) you pedal along the Bifangweg to the Leithe Wirt, and after a rest you continue onto the Beutelkopf, where you have to put in a bit of pedalling before it goes through the bike park to the Möseralm.
