Mountain Biking
Mountain Biking at Schweitzer
Biking at Schweitzer offers a little bit of something for everyone. Whether you're into downhill or cross-country riding, or just looking for a fun outing, you'll find incredible trails to explore all around the mountain. We offer over 40 miles of trails at Schweitzer. Start in our Village and warm your legs as you head out to Picnic Point to take in the sweeping views of the mountains and Lake Pend Oreille. From there, your options are wide open. For those looking for a downhill thrill, Schweitzer has many intermediate to expert options. All downhill trails begin at the top of the Great Escape Quad and descend 1700' to the Schweitzer Village. Lift-served downhill biking generally begins mid- to late-June and extends through Labor Day.
Ready for more vertical? Use the Highpoint Trail to connect Schweitzer to the Little Sand Creek Basin trail system for 4000 vertical feet of fun single track all the way to the valley. Bike rentals are also available through our Rental Shop!
For updated trail conditions, visit our Mountain Report page for the latest info.
Be sure to fill out your 2026 summer waiver before your visit!
