Gravity Card 2026 – More Parks, Clear Season, Strong Community

on Januar 13, 2026

A look at why Europe’s favorite bike park pass continues to deliver

Published by Radical Life Studios / MTB News

The Gravity Card enters a new season and once again, 2026 shows why this pass has become one of the most important tools for gravity riders across Europe. From April 4th to November 8th, 2026, the card unlocks access to 32 bike parks across seven countries, offering a season structure that works for weekend riders, road-trippers, and everyone in between.

For years, the Gravity Card has stood for reliability: consistent opening periods, simple planning, and the freedom to jump from park to park without thinking about day tickets or fluctuating prices. It’s not just a pass it’s a framework that makes a whole season feel smoother.

How the Gravity Card started – and why it works

When the Gravity Card launched, it was a small, alpine-focused idea. Today, it connects Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Switzerland into one of the most diverse lift networks in mountain biking. The card has outgrown its roots and become a European benchmark.

Its success is easy to explain:
the Gravity Card removes friction.
No price comparisons.
No ticket juggling.
Just a single pass and a full summer of riding.

Why the 2026 season window makes sense

The chosen period, April 4th to November 8th, is not random.
Late-season snow in spring and warmer autumns have reshaped opening realities across the Alps. The 2026 window reflects exactly that: a timeframe that most parks can reliably follow without guesswork or last-minute changes.

Early enough for spring laps.
Long enough for autumn sessions.
Clear enough to plan road trips and holidays with confidence.

32 parks — with two notable additions

The network continues to grow in 2026, adding two parks that bring fresh character:

Wexl Trails (Austria) – a versatile, enduro-focused area known for flow and technical depth.
Val di Sole (Italy) – one of the most iconic downhill venues in the world, born from World Cup history.

These additions strengthen what the Gravity Card already does well: mixing DH legends with family-friendly parks, modern trail areas and major alpine destinations.

Who benefits from the Gravity Card — and who doesn’t

The card is made for riders who want structure in their season.
Frequent riders benefit, road-trippers benefit, and anyone who values flexibility benefits. No ticket booths, no hesitation just straight onto the lift.

For riders who only visit a park once or twice a year, or who stay loyal to a single home park, the card offers less value. But for everyone else, it remains one of the most cost-effective ways to build an entire summer around gravity riding.

Community reaction – familiar, but strong

The sentiment in discussions across Europe is consistent:

The new parks are well received.
The extended network is praised.
The season window is seen as practical and fair.

The only recurring criticism remains geographical: riders from western Germany still face long drives. But even there, the overall verdict is clear — if you ride multiple parks a year, the Gravity Card 2026 is again one of the best deals in Europe.

2026 brings no revolution and doesn’t need one.
The Gravity Card continues to do what it does best: deliver a reliable, thoughtfully structured, and highly attractive season pass for all gravity riders who prefer lifts over office chairs.

The season is set.
The parks are ready.
April can’t come soon enough.
