Highland Mountain Bike Park

A whole mountain built for bikes and progression.

A former ski hill rebuilt entirely for bikes, with a chairlift that carries them on its chairs, 36 freeride and technical trails, a slopestyle course, dirt jumps and an indoor training center. Highland is known for coaching: Find Your Ride intro packages, adult and kids’ camps, women’s gravity weekends and Wednesday-night uphill sessions. Expect mostly intermediate to expert terrain, with a handful of green trails from the top.
