Downhill biking for beginners

Starting with green

A world champion is not built in one day and we all have to start somewhere. We have chosen three perfect trails to start your downhill career on.

Last updated: 14 August 2026

1. Årevägen – trail 9

Get to know the bike, the speed, the position and using the brakes on the transport stretch between Rödkullevägen and the bottom of the Stjärnlift.

2. Serpentinen – trail 26

After warming up on the slightly wider transport stretches, it is time to approach the downhill biking’s core on Serpentinen – a long and easy route from the top of the Stjärnliften, via the bottom of the Hummelliften lift and down to Stjärntorget and the bottom of the lift again.

3. Bräckesvängen – trail 12

Now it’s time to test a bit more technical riding. Take the Stjärnliften and roll down trail 06 and take a right on 24 that will take you to Bräckesvängen.
