18 km, 670 m of up- and downhill, 2 gnarly natural singletracks & 3 culinary spots: this enduro route is a dream for technical mountain bikers.
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 standing 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.They still exist! The all-round bikers—those with the power and motivation to climb and who love to challenge themselves on demanding natural terrain on the way down. For this crew, the Enduro Silbertal in the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN is a dream come true.
The start and end point of the Silbertal I 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. After two switchbacks, leave the road and turn left onto Infangstraße.
Here, the steady climb begins—initially on asphalt—towards Gaislachalm. At first, the forest provides some shade, but soon you’ll emerge onto sunny alpine meadows leading to Silbertal, a great spot for a break.
From there, the ultra-technical black-rated Bodenegg Trail starts, descending into the Ventertal. The first section crosses alpine meadows (please stay on the trail!) before things get significantly more challenging at the tree line—including a mandatory hike-a-bike section.
At Bodenegg, follow the Bodenegg MTB Route (661) to Gasthof Neue Post, where you’ll enter another black-rated trail through the Kühtrainschlucht, which will take you all the way back to Sölden.
