A fantastic enduro ride which unites two smooth lines to 18 km & 760 m of uphill and downhill.
The GAHE LINE is a red line – and it's long. There are many rest places to stop in-between. The LETTN LINE is an easy ride, but the many wooden sections can be slippery!
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 Hochsölden N Enduro tour 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 the junction where the Glacier Road branches off. From here, continue right up the steep Glacier Road all the way to Hochsölden.
After the challenging climb, Hochsölden offers a great spot to take a break on the spacious sun terrace of Restaurant Sonnblick.
The restaurant is located right at the entrance of the GAHE LINE – an incredible 7.4 km (!!) of pure flow fun, taking you all the way down to Leitn. From there, you seamlessly transition into the LETTN LINE, a blue trail that leads you directly to the valley station of the Giggijochbahn.
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.
All important details on bus timetables, direct connections and taxi services are available here.
A few parking lots are available at the Glacier Road toll station, not far from the access point of Rettenbachalm Trail.
We recommend that you leave your car at the spacious Giggijoch or Gaislachkogl parking houses!
