Trail info

Our trail system is probably one of the best you can find in the European off-snow circuit. On active military terrain that is 7km long and 4km wide, we are able to set up multiple trails without any compromise. No short turns. No houses or public roads. No little nasty poles to dive away for. A clear overview of what lies ahead. A mix of sandy ground and forest roads. Not one inch of asfalt ... Sounds great, doesn't it?

The "Pampa Range", as the military site is usually called, has a long tradition as a firing range for fighter jets. Entering some parts of the range is strictly forbidden, due to debris and possibly unexploded (practice) munition lying about. Since it is not open to the public, nature has been able to stay unchanged during the last decades.

So, what can we offer you? Check out our four sprint and eight tour trails ...

The Sprint trails:
5,2km for scooter, D, pulka
7,3km for C
8,8km for B
11,9km for A and O

The Tour Trails:
17km, 19km, 24km and 28km

The first part, which is common for all trails, starts with a fast curvy part in the "Western Woods". Don't be afraid, the trail is more than wide enough at any time, in fact, we were able to drive three quads side by side while discovering it. The C trails splits to the left along the "lake" and joins up about 1km later again. After about 3,5 km, we leave the woods and continue on a pretty firm stretch along a tree line. After approximately 6 km, we break of from the common trail and set sail to the finish via sandy roads.

The bigger sprint & tour trails continue on the "Southern Stretch" however, and only 2 km further it's time to leave the touring guys alone and this trail as well, chooses wide loose sandstrips to finally join the "little trails" again for the final sprint home.

For the Tour Teams, it's home alone after that. Going steady for a couple of km, you can decide to take the 6,5 km loop or half of it in the old castle domain, were currently you can see some trees that are unique in the region. In the east-south-east part of the trail, we play a bit in this fantastic web of roads and we continue along some old mine terrils to the furthest point, east-north-east of the range. Both the teams who take the (half) loop and those who don't, join up full east. After that, we turn west again, still on though sand-covered tracks, along a secondary shooting tower, the model fighter landing strip and finally we arrive at the finish area. Don't be fooled, the "Tour Trail" is not for "sunday mushers". It is an extremely beautiful, but though trail, for which you'd be better well prepared ...

The Tour Class is not a race class, there will be no ranking. There will be no difference between purebreds & open teams..
