The seven trails offer a variety of challenges and surprise with varied and creative obstacles in the middle of a beautifully natural forest area.

Thusis is a showcase project in terms of all park components.

The 3.5 km long trails offer creative and varied riding fun with different levels of difficulty and modules. There are QR codes on each of the seven trails that provide further information about the obstacles and the best approach. The surroundings, embedded in the forest, blend harmoniously into the overall picture of Thusis.
