Bike Park Closing Dates 2026: When the Season Ends

Every year at the end of October, the same question: where is the lift still running? In 2026 the answer comes in clear stages. The high-Alpine parks shut between early and mid October, the All Saints' weekend on 31 October and 1 November is the grand finale for many – and a handful of parks in the low mountain ranges and the Alpine foothills keep going well into November.

Here are the closing dates of the main bike parks in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and South Tyrol. As of 24 October 2026. In autumn the weather has a say: wind, snow or storms can close a park at short notice. Always check the park's official site and the spot on Lemoyn before you set off.

Already closed

If you still want to ride high up, you're too late here:

• Bike Park Val di Sole and Carosello Livigno – closed since 13 September.

• Bike Republic Sölden and the Penken in Mayrhofen – lifts ran until 4 October.

• Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis and Nauders (Bergkastel gondola) – done on 11 October.

• Davos Klosters – Gotschna until 11 October, Jakobshorn, Rinerhorn and Madrisa until 18 October.

• Bike Kingdom Lenzerheide, BikeBerg Flumserberg and Mottolino Livigno – also in winter mode.

• Lenggries Bike Park, Bodetal Bike Park and Racepark Schulenberg – the last day of operation was 24 October.

Until Austria's National Day: Saalbach

At Bikecircus Saalbach Hinterglemm the lifts close in stages. Until 26 October only the Zwölferkogel lift is running – so there's far less on offer than in summer.

Finale on the All Saints' weekend (31 Oct / 1 Nov)

This is the last weekend for most of the Alpine parks that are still open:

• Schladming Bike Park – until 1 November; from 25 October open until 4 pm (last uphill ride with a bike). Closing weekend "Last Shred Ahead" on 31 October and 1 November.

• Brandnertal Bike Park – daily until 1 November, changes possible due to weather or snow.

Extra time into November

The low mountain ranges and a few foothill parks hold out the longest – though usually no longer daily, but on weekends or with shorter hours:

• Winterberg Bike Park – until 8 November, lifts and trails 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, depending on wind and weather.

Riding all year: the winter alternatives

When the lifts stop, the season isn't over. You can ride these spots in winter too:

• Schöckl Trail Area near Graz – the rare case of a lift running all year: 9 am to 5 pm in October, 9 am to 4:30 pm from November to February. Closed in storms or during maintenance.

• Burgenland Trails – year-round, with a shuttle.

• UpperTrails near Linz – Pfenningberg and Roadlberg are open all year, 9 am to 5 pm in winter.

• Trailpark Harz – year-round and free; riding from one hour after sunrise until one hour before sunset.

• Trailpark Schwarzwald Süd around Freiburg – no lift, year-round.

• AREA 47 Indoor Bike Park – the 2026/27 winter season runs from late October to late April, with a few gaps, for example in early November and around Christmas.

How to plan your last lift laps

• Shorter days, shorter hours: many parks close at 4 or 4:30 pm in autumn. Starting early pays off.

• Not every day is an operating day: towards the end of the season many parks only run Thursday to Sunday or at weekends.

• Weather beats the calendar: wind, fresh snow or storms close parks at short notice – even on official operating days.

• Check conditions: each spot on Lemoyn shows the calculated conditions and what other riders reported recently. After your ride you can report how it went.

The dates come from the parks' and lift operators' official websites; where those couldn't be read, from BIKE magazine – noted in each case. A park is missing or a date has changed? Let us know on Lemoyn.
