The Forest Trail Rechenau route is a very easy and short loop tour traveling on Sölden's valley floor.
A short round tour ideal for families who want to explore the immediate surroundings of Sölden. The asphalt and gravel route covers only 5 km and 106 meters of altitude gain. A perfect tour for young mountain bikers who want to improve their skills. Alternatively you can use this track also for warming up before you get ready for a more challenging high Alpine route.
This lovely trail travels northwards down the valley. Before you reach the hamlet of Kaisers the loop route returns to the village center of Sölden and Freizeit Arena along the rushing waters of Ötztaler Ache river.
Arriving by Train
Enjoy a comfortable and relaxing train ride to the train station in Ötztal Bahnhof. The public bus lines to all holiday resorts in the valley (direction Obergurgl) leave directly in front of the train station. The bus ride to Sölden takes about 1 – 1.5 hours.
