The tour starts directly at the Preunegg Jet mountain station, but before the actual trail starts, you have to conquer around 100 hm by bike.
Once you arrive at the Gasselhöhebahn mountain station, an impressive panoramic view of the Enns Valley and the Dachstein awaits. The upper part of the trail winds its way through sparse forest with plenty of variety and curves. After a long traverse between the top panorama and rock faces, you reach a short section of piste, which you leave again after approx. 150 m in the direction of the forest. The second section of the trail is rather quicker and more playful and ends directly at the end of the Holzer Trail just above the Eiskarhütte. After a short section on the Holzer Trail, you continue on the Eiskar Trail.

On 15, 22 and 29 July and 5 August 2022 you can end your week at the Afterwork Ride until 07:00 pm.
