661 Bodenegg

The starting point of this beautiful circular route is in Sölden at the Freizeit Arena. Facing the Freizeit Arena, you start to the right and follow the Ötztal Cycle Path 11 to the valley station of the Gaislachkogelbahn. Upon reaching the Gaislachkogelbahn, turn right to get onto the federal road B186, which you follow until the junction with the Glacier Road from the federal road. Continue here to the right up the steep Glacier Road, after two hairpin bends leave the Glacier Road and follow the Infang Road to the left. Past the Infang, take the next option (red barrier) left onto the Upper Gewerbestraße and follow this until you reach the federal road B186. Here, follow the federal road B186 to the right and arrive at Zwieselstein. In Zwieselstein, first cross the Ötztaler, then the Gurgler Ache before turning right just before the Brückenwirt guesthouse onto a forest road. Follow this parallel to the Venter Ache, which flows out of a valley to the right. You ride past wide fields and meadows and shortly reach the sports ground of Zwieselstein. The path continues through a short forest section before you cross the Venter Ache to the right and then arrive at the less busy Vent state road. Here, keep left and follow the road further downstream. After about 1.5 km, just before Bodenegg, Bodenegg Road leads off to the left from the Venter state road (marked P2). Follow this a few meters downhill and then sharply left to cross the Venter Ache and start the return route on the right side of the creek. The path leads through some shady forest areas while the Venter Ache provides refreshment. Follow this path always parallel to the Venter Ache downstream. After about 2 km, above Zwieselstein, at the first hairpin bend towards Gurgl, you reach the federal road. Going down to Zwieselstein is only a few meters. From Zwieselstein, you take the Ötztal federal road back to Sölden to the starting point.
