Enduro Tour 4 - “Grubigs Peak”
You start in Lermoos, at the junction to the Wachtersteig, onto the Bachtlweg, MTB Route 804. From there, it is about 300m of elevation gain to the middle station, on mostly asphalted roads. At the middle station, the Brettlalm offers the first opportunity for a break. From here, follow the road (MTB Routes 860 and 861) for another 600m of elevation gain to the starting point of the Grubigalm Trail (864). This is located at the level of the mountain station of the 2-person chairlift, right by the road. With a wonderful panorama, you begin the first descent. If you still have enough energy, the Gipfelhaus Grubighütte offers another chance to rest. For this, follow the road for another 80m of elevation gain to the top station of the Grubigsteinbahn.
The Grubigalm Trail awaits you with challenging, fast, and technical sections and runs for about 1 km, beautifully embedded in the terrain of the Grubigstein. At the trail's exit, follow the road downhill and after about 100-200 meters, turn right onto the large meadow plateau where the Forest Aisle Trail (865) awaits you. A singletrail dream like something from a "storybook." Over 2km of changing terrain and varying surfaces will thrill you! After a long straight section at the end of the trail, you'll roll directly onto the ski slope and back onto the road. If you’re technically skilled on the bike, you also have the option to turn sharply left before the ski slope and shortcut via some very tight switchbacks. Caution! Steep and technical terrain, suitable for experienced riders!
Once on the road, follow it back to the middle station. At the middle station (behind the playground), the Bachtl Trail (8031) begins. This is an easy (blue) flow trail with rollers, small jumps, a few larger ones on the edges, and large berms, offering fun for both, beginners and advanced riders. After almost 3 km, you reach the Wachtersteig, MTB Route 867 (Attention, hikers! Please slow down!) and turn left there, heading back toward your starting point or the town center of Lermoos.
At the church square, turn left onto the Hinterfeldweg. Follow this road to the Grubigsteinbahn valley station and from there head towards the main street in the town center. Follow the main street to the left for about 100m until you reach the parking lot on the left, and from there follow MTB Route 868 to the Widum. After about 15 minutes and around 100m of elevation gain, you will reach the Tieftaleck with a bench and a magnificent view over Lermoos, with the Zugspitze in the distance. A wonderful conclusion to an enduro tour. After your final break, enjoy the Family Trail. A nice flow trail that won't be too demanding at the end of the tour but promises a lot of fun with speed and flow. The trail ends again at the valley station of the Grubigsteinbahn.
