The Appetizer trail starts from the top of the chairlift. It suits both beginners and more experienced riders. It has banked corners (berms), a few wooden bridges, jumps and rollers. At a slow pace you can roll through or bypass all the jumps. At higher speed even experienced riders get a lot of fun out of it.

On the west side of the lower section there is a separate jump line with three medium-sized tabletop jumps. You can ride the Appetizer with basic cycling skills if you keep the speed moderate. Riding at pace requires precision and good bike control.

Top-class appetisers for almost every taste! This chairlift-accessible trail offers a huge amount of corners where you can refine your lines and skills, plus a few tabletops.

You can set the difficulty level with your own speed, making it excellent for both beginners and more experienced riders. As speed builds the trail delivers superb flow with the berms rhythmically pacing the ride. Ridden at a relaxed pace – easily approachable and refined. Ridden at pace – a challenging and tasty experience!

Customer Service (Mon–Fri 10–16)

Ylläs Bike Park is open daily 11am–6pm during the summer season. The season starts on 13 June and runs through 27 September 2026. Follow our website and social channels for updates on exceptions and current information.

For brand-new riders we recommend starting with the trails from the Vekkuli carpet lift. When your bike feels familiar and you feel confident, you can move on to trails reached by the chairlift, such as Ylläs Flow. Flow is wide and beginner-friendly. Riding at an easy pace, you can manage with everyday cycling skills and a bit of an adventurous spirit.

The most common reasons for closing the Gondola are strong wind, storms, or thunderstorms. The Gondola is never closed for cost-saving reasons. The crew operating the Gondola are on duty all day, even if the lift does not run for a single minute.

Courses last two to three hours depending on the course. For example, the Get to know the bike park course lasts two hours, and the Ylläs Pro X course three hours.
