22.5 km through the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN! The Enduro Schölder really has it all: fine uphills, even finer downhills, and exquisite culinary delights.
On this route, you'll collect kilometers (22.5 km), altitude gain and loss (999 m), sensational views, and alpine pastures, alpine pastures, alpine pastures. The start and end point of the Enduro Schölder M route 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 reach federal road B186, follow it to the junction with the glacier road from the federal road. Here, turn right to ascend the steep glacier road; two hairpin bends later, leave the glacier road and follow the Infang road to the left. Going uphill, ride the mountain bike Route Gaislach (644) until arriving at the middle station of the Gaislachkoglbahn. Passing the middle station and the stone arch, the 6005 Eebme Line starts on the right side. Do not ride the Eebme Line to the end; halfway through, the "Bartigs Bödele Line" branches off to the left. The Bartigs Bödele Line ends at the toll station of the glacier road. Then continue on the "Schlender Line 6060." At the Gampe Alm, briefly switch to the mountain bike Route Gampe Alm (643), which leads downhill back to Hochsölder street. Upon reaching the street, turn left for the last ascent leading to the entrance of the Leiterberg Trails. Here you go through the forest on the challenging Leiterberg Trail (with a place to stop!). Finally, the LETTN LINE takes you back to Sölden and the Giggijochbahn.

Safety information
The red Leiterberg Trail is the most demanding part of the route. It features rocky sections, thick roots, and stones.
In the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN, it’s all about the shared fun of bike sport – no matter what riding level you have. Be considerate and support each other. And behave just as respectfully towards all other people on the mountain and in the valley – and towards nature.
-> Stay on the maintained and marked paths. Do not ride over open meadows!
-> Avoid blocking the rear wheel and help preserve the paths.
-> Be considerate of animals and close the pasture gates. There can always be cows on the trails and lines. Ride carefully and keep distance!
