What an idyllic ride – the blue Bartigs Bödele Lines holds stunning views and not many challenges.
The BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN is all about coming together and having the best time on your mountain bike – no matter what your skill level is. So always take care of each other, show respect and support – also towards nature and all other people out there in the mountains and the valley.
> Please only ride existing, signposted trails and never trespass open meadows.
-> Avoid skidding, don’t cut switchbacks & leave no trace.
-> Stay alert, never scare animals and always close the pasture gates. In the REPUBLIC there’s always a chance of cattle on the trails and lines. Ride carefully and give them enough room.
-> Please note that the natural trails in the BIKE REPUBLIC are all shared trails. Always yield to hikers and give a friendly greeting.
Good equipment rules in the BIKE REPUBLIC! We strongly recommend to wear protective bike gear (knee and elbow protection, helmet, back protector, ...) on all lines, trails, enduro tracks and mountain bike routes in the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. The entire REPUBLIC is designed exclusively for good quality, modern standard mountain bikes.Even though Bartigs Bödele is only about a kilometer long, you should take your time – to pause, enjoy the view, and take photos. It is truly beautiful.
You can reach Bartigs Bödele via the Eebme Line, but instead of riding it to the end, you turn left halfway onto the "Bartigs Bödele Line." This trail ends at the toll station of the glacier road. From there, you continue on the "Schlender Line 6060," which takes you past the Gampe Thaya and Gampe Alm alpine pastures back to the Gaislachkogl side, where the OHN LINE, among others, awaits.
Alternatively, you can head towards the Langegg lift (which connects to the OLLWEITE LINE) or ride down into the valley via the OHN LINE.
Bartigs Bödele is part of the Enduro Schölder M.
Please note: the trail is also popular with hikers – control your speed, greet and yield!
The blue Bartiges Bödele Trail, linking the middle station of Gaislachkogl Mountain Gondola and Rettenbachtal valley, forks into the Glacier Road.
