Sometimes flowy, sometimes bumpy, the natural single trail leads from Hochsölden to the historic district of Leite. Halfway along the trail, the rustic Leiterberg Alm invites you to enjoy a well-earned refreshment. Just as well, because after that it gets really challenging with high roots, stones and steps!
The Leiterberg Trail is a natural, technical single trail that winds beautifully through the forest and alpine meadows of the Bike Republic Sölden. Those who are good on their bikes will have a lot of fun on this moderately difficult trail. MTB beginners should be prepared for the odd pushing section. Good to know: The last section is always uphill - not for heavy downhill bikes. The Lettn Line offers a flowing continuation.
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 Leiterberg Trail is a technically demanding track that travels through the woods on the outskirts of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. For skilled riders it's superfun, for those who are eager to learn the perfect training ground. There a steep sections, rocky and rooty parts, and slippery bits – it's quite a challenge, especially the 2nd part.
The Leiterberg weaves into the flowy LETTN LINE that takes you down to the Giggijoch station in the valley.
You get to the track via the HARBE LINE from the Giggijoch or
(with a bit of pedalling) via Bartigs Bödele & the Rettenbach Trail from Gaislachkogl.
The Leiterberg Trail is also part of the Enduro Schölder M & Enduro Gortach G routes and the Long Trail Schölder.
Please yield to hikers!
