An attractive mountain biking tour for all those who prefer not to climb steep gravel trails. Fantastic views of Sölden.
Wonderful mountain bike tour for those who seek a brief challenge even during the ascent, but manageable for the average mountain biker. The tour is rated "black" due to a number of very challenging ascents followed by two really demanding single trail downhill sections.
After about 8 kilometers you deserve a break at lovely Maria's Alm at almost 1900 m above sea level. The panoramic views of Sölden, the entire valley and its snow-topped mountains are really unique.
After a hearty snack at the beautiful Maria's Alm, the fun of the descent is just right. For more experienced mountain bikers, the Leiterberg singletrack is a true delight. Attention: The singletrack occasionally includes challenging ascents. Finally, from the mountain bike tour, you return to the Giggijoch valley station via the Lettn Line.
