A short, but sweet Enduro loop of 12 km and 320 m of climbing with a challenging, black natural trail back to Sölden.
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.
-> 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.The Enduro Zwieselstein is a great after-work or in-between ride in the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN.
The start and end point of the Zwieselstein E Enduro route 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.
After passing Infang, take the next left at the red barrier onto Obere Gewerbestraße and follow it until you reach the B186 main road. Turn right and follow the B186 to Zwieselstein. Once in Zwieselstein, cross the Ötztaler Ache river and turn left at Hotel Neue Post. From there, follow the paved road until you reach the start of the Kühtrainschlucht Trail.
This trail is absolutely stunning but comes with some technical challenges, including narrow rock corridors, steps, and roots. Additionally, it can be ridden in both directions. Please watch out for hikers!
