Your bike holiday in Ischgl
The Silvretta Bike Arena Ischgl/Samnaun is one of the most varied mountain bike destinations in the Alps. The area stretches from Ischgl in Tyrol to Samnaun in Switzerland and offers more than 100 kilometres of trails for mountain bikers and e-mountain bikers of all abilities. On many routes, cable cars take care of all or part of the climb. A particular highlight: the Smuggler Trail along historic paths.
We are happy to arrange private bike guides and shuttles or book guided tours and technique training in small groups. On top of that, there is e-bike rental, secure bike storage, packed lunches and an in-house boutique with high-quality biking and hiking apparel.

More than 100 signposted routes lead through Ischgl, Galtür, Kappl and See. Forest tracks alternate with singletrails, beginner-friendly loops with challenging descents. In the Silvretta Bike Arena and on the Silva Trails, everyone will find their terrain – right up to vertriding at the very limits of what is rideable.
Hairpin bends, mountain passes and plenty of punchy climbs: the Silvretta High Alpine Road is one of the classic road cycling routes in the Alps. Further challenges await on the 148-kilometre Arlberg loop, the Hahntennjoch and Flexen Pass, or a detour into the Kaunertal valley via the Pillerhöhe.
With an e-bike, the high-alpine terrain becomes one big playground. From the Trofana Royal, you can pedal up to alpine pastures and huts, across the border or at a leisurely pace through the valley. The right KTM bikes are ready and waiting at our in-house rental.
Numerous hiking routes and the summer cable cars start right outside the hotel door. We will give you personal route tips for every level, our in-house hiking guides accompany you on selected tours, and for special destinations we arrange private mountain guides, a shuttle service and, for an additional charge, a packed lunch for the trail. After your hike, the Royal Spa and our multi-award-winning gourmet cuisine with a regional focus await, along with excursions with Martin Sieberer and special gourmet events.
Around 200 kilometres of hiking trails lead through idyllic valleys, across alpine pastures and up to the summits. Families will find numerous circular routes, while experienced hikers can take on challenging tours to the top of three 3,000-metre peaks. Mountain lakes such as the Berglisee and the Madleinsee are particularly worth the hike.
From late June to early October, the cable cars take you up to an altitude of 2,872 metres, right on the Swiss border. With the Silvretta Card Premium, you can use all open cable cars in the Paznaun as often as you like.
Bike routes of every difficulty level start right outside the hotel door, and in the hotel itself you will find e-bike rental, secure bike storage for your equipment and a boutique with high-quality biking and hiking apparel. On request, we arrange private bike guides, guided day tours, technique training in small groups, a shuttle to your starting point and, for an additional charge, a packed lunch.
You can choose from more than 400 kilometres of marked mountain bike routes, and the cross-border Silvretta Bike Arena Ischgl/Samnaun adds 100 kilometres of challenging natural trails and downhill runs. Ischgl is also considered one of the highest-altitude e-bike destinations in Europe, with e-bike-friendly trails and charging stations.
Host Alexander von der Thannen, a founding member of the Ischgl Bike Hotels, is always happy to share his favourite routes. For a leisurely ride, he recommends the Oberpaznaun loop across alpine pastures to Galtür. For an adrenaline rush, he suggests the Fimber Pass trail into the Engadine and back via Samnaun. And the Verwall loop is considered the ultimate badge of honour for mountain bikers: around 100 punchy kilometres via the Zeinisjoch, the Heilbronner Hütte and Schönverwall.

Just a few steps from the top station of the Silvretta cable car, at 2,320 metres, lies the Vider Truja Adventure Park with its water playground and adventure trail. At Sunny Mountain in Kappl, a slide tower, a petting zoo and a Kneipp water area await at 1,830 metres. And at the Schwarzwassersee and Pardatschersee lakes, the Adventure Stage forest and lakeside course puts young adventurers’ ambition to the test.
As early as the 1950s, guests from the cities and lowlands were drawn to Ischgl for its clear air and unspoilt nature, and nothing has changed to this day. Especially in hot summers, the mountain village wins guests over with pleasant daytime temperatures, cool nights for restful sleep, a culture of hospitality that is truly lived and excellent cuisine made with regional ingredients.
It is your benefits card for summer in the Paznaun, and every overnight guest at the Trofana Royal receives it at check-in. For the entire duration of your stay, it gives you unlimited use of all open cable cars in the Paznaun, in Samnaun and in the Montafon/Brandnertal, as well as the regional buses and the Silvretta High Alpine Road. It also includes one bike transport per cable car per day. Pushchairs and dogs on a lead and wearing a muzzle travel free of charge. On top of that, you get discounts, for example on Bike Unlimited rates, the SKYFly zipline and selected experiences.

At the Trofana Royal, there are also excursions with Martin Sieberer and special gourmet events.
