Semmering Bike Park is about 1 hour south of Vienna towards Graz in the famous old school ski resort of Semmering. It is serviced by lifts and has 4 main trails with a few variations and lots of jumps.
We rocked up to the track one day in mid September to check out how it rode and see how much fun could be had at a traditional style bike park course. With lift tickets costing €35 for the day and a fairly fast turn around, easy parking at the bottom of the lift it looked like it had all the ingredients of a good day.
Check out the video and photos below to see what the bikepark was like.

WE really loved Semmering bike park. It is a fun place to ride with nicely formed jumps and some great turns all over the place. It’s not got that much technical and for sure having a DH bike is the best way to enjoy the place, Enduro bikes will be ok, but trail bikes will not be as fun as there are many jumps to hit that are more fun with more travel. The use of features balanced natural terrain, a good use of the land forms and drop meant an average ride was around 10 minutes or less at speed. Overall there is plenty to keep the average rider happy here and if you want to go big you can. For the easy rider the blue track is perfect to help you warm up.
