About
The MTB Zone Bikepark Willingen on the Ettelsberg is one of the best-known bike parks in Germany and the home of the BIKE Festival Willingen, with an iXS Downhill Cup round every spring. Its downhill track hosted the UCI World Cup in 2005 and 2006.
Three lifts serve the park – the Ettelsberg cable car, the K1 chairlift and the Köhlerhagen lift – and twelve trails cover every level: a training course, Flow Trail, Flow Country, pump track and Skills Area 51 for beginners, Freeride (1.6 km, 190 m descent, with a North Shore section), Lower Freeride and a 4X track for intermediate riders, and Enduro, the 1.6 km Downhill (250 m descent), Jump or Leave and a bag jump line for experts.
K1 Rental at the chairlift rents bikes and protection and runs courses, and the Snow & Bike Factory has a shop and workshop. The season runs from late March to early November, with the lifts open daily 9:00–17:00. Multi-day passes are also valid at the MTB Zone in Winterberg.
