A 20 km long enduro route through the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN with three super flowy lines leading back to the valley.
The start and finish point of the Enduro Tour Mittelstation L is the Freizeit Arena in the center of Sölden. Facing the Freizeit Arena, start to the right and follow the Ötztal bike path 11 to the valley station of the Gaislachkogelbahn. Upon reaching the Gaislachkogelbahn, turn right to get onto the federal road B186, following it to the junction with the glacier road branching from the federal road. Then proceed right up the steep glacier road, after two hairpin turns leaving the glacier road to the left along Infangstraße - direction Gaislach/Silbertal. Here you pedal calmly through the (partially open) forest up to three refreshment possibilities: Sonneck, Gaislachalm, and Heidealm, and further on to the middle station of the Gaislachkogelbahn.
That’s the end of the uphill; from here the fine lines of the BIKE REPUBLIC await! At the stone arch after the Gailachkogelbahn, start on the flowing EEBME, which after the Langeggbahn valley station continues to the fun OHN LINE. This offers rollers and berms without end until after 3.6 km it transitions into the BROATE LINE, which takes you back to the valley.

Safety information
The EEBME is a relatively easy-to-ride red line. The OHN LINE is blue and is also well suited for trail beginners. However, approach the varied route with caution.
In the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN, it’s all about shared fun in bike sports – regardless of your riding level. Be considerate of each other and support one another. And behave just as respectfully towards all other people on the mountain and in the valley – and towards nature.
-> Stay on the paved and signposted paths. Do not ride over open meadows!
-> Avoid locking the rear wheel and help preserve the trails.
-> Be considerate of animals & close the pasture gates. Cows can always be on the trails and lines. Ride carefully and keep distance!
