Grand Hirafu Mountain Bike Park
This course features both gentle and steep slopes with various types of curves. It is called a “flow” trail because of its characteristic winding shape that utilizes the ski resort slopes and allows the bikers to ride naturally through the banks and waves. The feeling of riding through banks and turns is similar to that of skiing and snowboarding, which typically is an unexpected surprise for skiers and snowboarders who find it an extra layer of enjoyment.
