Reserved to tough girls and boys on two wheels! ZAAHE LINE is a very challenging and stubborn trail, not easy to conquer - a quite tough adventure indeed. If you are in an excellent physical shape and if your biking skills are exceptional, then you can also choose the new Jump Line which forks-off from TEÄRE LINE (6003). Huge drops, rollers and steep turns are waiting for real biking aficionados and daredevils.

 

ZAAHE LINE

[ʦaːhə]

Ötztal dialect word for weird, determined, tiring, strenuous, to be a tough person, to keep one's chin up, not easy to convince

Author’s recommendation

Einkehren kann man in der Almstube bei der Mittelstation oder am Ende im Pumptrack ROLLIN, wo man auch das Bike waschen kann.
