    Freeride Saalbach Hinterglemm

With a total length of more than 6 km and a vertical drop of 1025 m, the X-Line powered by CONTI winds its way down from the summit to the valley station of the Schattberg lift, making it one of the longest freeride trails in Europe. On this variety-packed singletrail with its downhill character, there are numerous passages with obstacles and roots. All bikers, from soulriders to downhill pros are sure to find what they are looking for.

Awaiting bikers in the upper section is a flowing singletrail with magnificent panoramic views. The stage from the mid station is somewhat more tricky and contains many Northshore elements and roots. Once you are almost at the bottom, you can take your pick between a leisurely ride to the valley station, a technically more difficult rooty option, or an adapted slope style run.

      Great trail. Steady for a black. Few steep techy steps but all rollable. Obviously I didn't do the massive drop at the end, but I don't think many people do!

      Hard af, the black rating fits well. There are a few features inside the lower forest area. You should definitely preride those as they look very hard. This trail is fun if you like black tech. But be prepared to say no to some sections if you want to stay in one piece.

      Rode this today for the first time. Top section is fun and flowing then when it goes into the trees it gets rough with a lot of rock and root coming through the trail. Id definitely recommend a DH bike for this one! Shame it's the only trail down from this side of the hill, it means a lot of riders attempt it without the credentials.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
