No fun without hard work: the Kleble Alm Trail has to be earned! You have to climb 600 meters to the alpine pasture of the same name. The reward: plenty of peace and quiet and a hearty snack. Refreshed, you head back down into the valley via the natural single trail - sometimes flowing, sometimes technically tricky and blocked. The perfect afternoon tour!
Beautiful alpine tour for nature-loving bikers: The tour to the Kleble Alm is certainly not a day-long affair, but is well suited for late risers or a chilled evening tour. In any case, the small alpine village invites you to relax: The view from up here is fantastic and mountain bikers will often find themselves among their peers. A short technical uphill section requires a little riding skill, while downhill bikers can expect a mostly flowing single trail, spiced up with root passages from time to time.
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.You find the Klebe Alm Trail on the quiet side of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN - the gondola-free side. This means: pedalling! For those who love sweet climbs and gnarly trails, this is the perfect track. It's an uphill of ca. 600 m to the Kleble Alm – a hut with fantastic food and a jaw-dropping view. The trail is pretty tricky, has its wet and slippery sections, roots and rocks, as well as flowy parts. It crosses the forest route several times.
Please yield to hikers!
