A beautiful 20 km enduro tour that takes you up on the quiet outskirts of the BIKE REPUBLIC and down on three flowy lines.
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.
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.The start and end point of the Enduro Tour Mittelstation L is the Freizeit Arena in the center of Sölden. Facing the Freizeit Arena, you start to the right and follow the Ötztal Cycle Path 11 until you reach the valley station of the Gaislachkogelbahn. Once there, turn right to reach the B186 main road and follow it until you reach the junction where the Glacier Road branches off. From here, continue right up the steep Glacier Road, and after two switchbacks, leave the road and turn left onto Infangstraße, heading towards Gaislach/Silbertal.
Here, you can pedal peacefully through a beautiful (partly open) forest, passing three great spots to take a break: Sonneck, Gaislachalm, and Heidealm, before continuing to the mid-station of the Gaislachkogelbahn.
That’s it for the uphill – now the amazing lines of the BIKE REPUBLIC await! Just past the stone arch after the Gaislachkogelbahn, you’ll enter the smooth-flowing EEBME trail, which continues past the Langeggbahn valley station and leads into the fun-packed OHN LINE. This trail is packed with rollers and berms, stretching over 3.6 km before seamlessly transitioning into the BROATE LINE, which takes you all the way back down to the valley.
Arriving by Train
