Biketrail Z Line: Wallrides, flow and your action photo on the Zwölferkogel in Hinterglemm

What is the Escape Trail in Saalbach Hinterglemm?

The Z Line is one of the most famous freeride trails in Saalbach Hinterglemm. The trail combines natural terrain with shaped elements, making it flowy but still exciting. At the same time, the line is not for beginners. It requires trail experience, clean braking and a safe line. If you love flow, are looking for features and ride with technical stability, this is the line for you.

Character of the route: flow, features and detours

The Z Line is a casual mix of trail feeling and bike park guidance. You can expect:

  • Berms and fast sequences of bends
  • Wallrides that are really fun
  • Northshore passages for technique and balance
  • Waves, tables and smaller drops

The best thing is that many features have bypasses, so you can approach them step by step and still stay in the flow.

Where does the Z-Line start?

The start of the Z Line is located directly at the middle station of the Zwölferkogelbahn in Hinterglemm. From there, the trail winds its way down into the valley towards Hinterglemm.

Planning tip: If you start early, the line is often quieter and you have more room for clean turns and repetitions.

Facts about the Z-Line: length, altitude, duration

You can roughly calculate this for the Z-Line:

  • Distance: approx. 4 km
  • Descent: approx. 450 vertical meters
  • Duration: approx. 30 minutes, depending on speed and stops

These figures are ideal as a guide, on site it depends very much on how often you stop, how full it is and how much you repeat.

Who is the Biketrail Z-Line ideal for?

The Z Line suits you if you already have trail experience and are really keen on features. You like flow, but want more than just rolling along, and you ride with protective equipment and a clean technique. Wallrides and Northshore appeal to you and you want to tackle them safely, step by step.

If you are new to the bike park, start on easier trails first, gain rhythm and control, and then switch to the Z Line.

Action Snapshot Station: How to get your photo

One highlight is the Action Snapshot Station at the Wallride Passage. This is where you can get a spectacular souvenir photo that looks exactly like a bike park.

Depending on the region’s system, you can then download your picture online, for example via the official Saalbach pages with Fotopoint Download.

And once the action photo has been taken, the best way to end the day is to relax here at the Rosentalerhof: our terrace is ideal for a sundowner, a cool drink in your hand, letting the day slowly fade away, before taking a dip in the pool.
