More variety and progression for all bikers
By expanding the existing Schmuggler, Ibahaps, Almrush and Kornock trails and building the new Teahouse Trail, Trailarea Turracher Höhe wanted to give both beginners and professionals the opportunity to expand their skills. With the broader and more varied range of trails, we can meet the needs of all bikers. From gentle beginner routes to challenging trails for professionals - the new options appeal to all levels.
Efficient implementation during ongoing operations
Particular attention was paid to carrying out the construction work during ongoing operations. We focused on carrying out the work in such a way that the operation of the existing trails and the visitor experience were not affected. Thanks to careful planning and coordination, the ALLEGRA Austria team was able to integrate the work smoothly.
Environmental awareness and protection of wetlands
Another key concern was to protect the sensitive wetlands in the area around Turracher Höhe. Our project managers and the construction team have found creative and efficient ways to bypass or bridge these areas without endangering their natural integrity. This environmentally conscious approach is a guideline at ALLEGRA and reflects our commitment to sustainable construction practices. In addition to the ecological aspect, there is always an aesthetic concern to preserve the natural beauty.
Flat construction to reduce the need for snowmaking
Additionally, we made sure to build the new trails on flat piste terrain. This decision not only helps minimize the need for additional snowmaking, but also ensures that the trails are optimally rideable in a variety of weather conditions. Our goal was to ensure a seamless and safe experience for all bikers.
Conclusion
Through these measures, we have not only expanded the range of trails in Turrach, but also increased the attractiveness of the region for mountain bikers. We are proud to be part of this project on the Turracher Höhe and look forward to welcoming bikers of all experience levels to the new trails in the trail area.
