Flowline
the highlight for young & old
The Flowline in the Bikepark Schladming is ideal for anyone looking for smooth riding fun - from beginners to advanced riders. It is around 16 km long and runs from the Planai mountain station down to the valley. With an average gradient of 8%, the route runs on a smooth, wide surface - without any roots, stones or steps. Numerous bends and waves ensure a consistently safe and fun riding experience.
The Flowline is divided into two sections: The upper section between the top and middle station is known as the Peak Flowline, while the lower section down to the valley is called the Stadium Flowline.
