Tour description

Extra-long and tricky downhill fun

Surrounded by green meadows and glorious mountain panoramas, the Wüstlau Trail invites you to marvel at nature. An extra-long route, the Wüstlau trail leads from the Häuslalm hut through the forest down into the valley. This technically demanding course is peppered with tight curves, elevated turns, rocks and tree roots – so be sure not to underestimate this challenging trail’s level of difficulty.

Route description:
The almost 8 km long Wüstlau Trail starts at the Häuslalm directly at Langwiedboden (1,976 m) and requires not only skill, but also endurance and stamina. You reach the starting point via Gletscherjet Ior 3K K-onnection. The technically very challenging trail leads across alpine pastures and through forest sections to the valley at the Kesselfallstraße not far from the “Kesselfall/ Gletscherjets” car park. Numerous hairpin bends, turns in the road as well as stone and root passages require skill and courage. Not for beginners!

Attention Shared Trail!

The signposted route regulations are to be followed when riding the mountainbike trails.  The routes range from technically difficult to used trails, which means that control over one´s bike and technical ability are required. Apart from the joy of mountainbiking, one should not forget the dangers present in alpine terrain: an appeal for personal responsibility:

  • Mutual consideration between bikers and hikers
  • Give hikers the right of way on narrow paths.
  • Protect and respect plants and animals
  • Please do not leave any litter behind in Mother Nature
  • Avoid noise and unnecessary skid marks
  • Always expect to meet agricultural and forest motor vehicles
  • Only ride as fast as it is possible to stop at any time
  • Expect wild animals, domestic animals or livestock to be on the trails
  • Respect prohibitive signs and information boards
  • Only ride with technically sound bikes
  • Ride according to your ability and the condition of the trail
  • Don´t forget bad weather gear, tools and a reserve tube

Due to the ongoing construction works at the Kitzsteinhorn | Alpincenter, there may be increased construction traffic on Astenweg.
