Easy Rider \u2013 blue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

5,004 meters of pure cycling pleasure throughout \u00c5re\u2019s magnificent higher mountain terrain, from Kabinbanan\u2019s (Cable Car\u2019s) top station all the way down to Hummeln. With a wide, machine-dug trail that is unparalleled in Scandinavia, a multitude of velodromes, and a full-on magical flow all the way. Suitable for all levels, from World Champions to the first-time cyclist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e5nskogen \u2013 blue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A wide and smooth singletrack with velodrome curves and small jumps running from the WC plateau down towards Solstigen. Loads of beautiful curves in an equally beautiful environment. The perfect trail for the average cyclist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getrappet \u2013 blue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A continuation of M\u00e5nskogen (above), starting at Solstigen and one of Mt. \u00c5reskutan\u2019s most popular trails. A smooth single track with great easy to ride curves, yet difficult to ride really fast. A challenge for all levels of cyclists! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wingman \u2013 red<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This might be Mt. \u00c5reskutan\u2019s most talked about trail, and for good reason! Wingman (formerly known as Shimano) is a 3,300-metre long machine-dug trail full of large velodrome curves and about 50, just as large jumps. An adrenaline-filled, laugh-inducing journey all the way down to Stj\u00e4rntorget at the bottom of the mountain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re curious about trying downhill for the first time, here\u2019s a list of our tips.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Serpentinen \u2013 green<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A long and easy trail from the VM6 via the Hummel lift\u2019s valley station down towards Stj\u00e4rntorget. It\u2019s a beginner\u2019s first contact with downhill biking in \u00c5re, and a great one at that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lilla Bl\u00e5 \u2013 blue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of Mt. \u00c5reskutan\u2019s most popular trails, like a dizzying roller coaster on two wheels. A machine-dug trail with velodrome curves and just the right amount of jumps \u2013 which of course can be pedalled over if you want to take it a bit safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flinbanan \u2013 r\u00f6d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A classic jump track that starts directly at the descent of the VM6 chairlift and ends down at Fj\u00e4llg\u00e5rden with loads of jumps and velodrome curves to create some nice G-forces. The feeling you get from this trail is long talked about after, and don\u2019t even try holding back your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cobra \u2013 blue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00c5re\u2019s newest jump trail. Suitable for everyone from first-timers to the faster and more experienced. The Cobra is wide, smooth and created with perfectly sculpted velodrome curves and alternates speed and turns with great jumps. In the middle of the trail you\u2019ll find \u00c5re Bike Park\u2019s landmark, the wooden bridge Snurveln that turns 360 degrees! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
