The Z-Line powered by TREK starts right next to the mid station of the Zwölferkogel lift, then snakes its way down to the valley, with breathtaking views over Saalbach Hinterglemm. The route takes you over countless berms, wallrides, and Northshore passages, as well as rollers, tables, and smaller drops. There are always alternative ways around these features for those who might like to take things a little more gently. The last wallride has got to be the real highlight, with its integrated Action-Snapshot-Station, giving you the chance of getting a spectacular souvenir photo.

The route is designed with ambitious freeriders in mind, though tourers with suitable protection and trail experience will also love it. Tip: Just before the end, there is a turning that takes you to the pumptrack and the bike technique training area at the Wieserauberg.
