    From Startgels the trail initially leads through light mountain forest, over bridges and small jumps. On the plain of Plaun gl’Urs begins Super Marioland, a pumptrack in the middle of the flow trail. In Plaun gl’Urs, it's time to shake out your hands, enjoy the small alpine plateau and refill your water bottle at the fountain. After a short steep descent, the Runca Trail leads back into the forest of Val gl’Urs. The fast and wide berms and jumps are continuously reshaped and the route slightly adjusted to offer an optimal flow experience. 

    The jumpline on Runca Höhe is the highlight of the Runca Trail, the jumps are optimally shaped and can be perfectly jumped at the speed of the run-up. Each jump has two take-offs, so every biker can find their rhythm in this section and jump according to their ability. Afterwards, it goes over a wide natural trail to Runca.

    The restaurant is equipped with tools and tubes and is an ideal refreshment stop for both people and machines. On Runca Höhe there is also a barbecue area, which is perfect for a short lunch break in good weather. 

    On the Runca Trail Lower you'll fly with maximal flow all the way down to Flims. And then? Press "repeat".
