SöldenPhoto: Roland Grüner, Ötztal
Easy and family-friendly route, perfect for exploring the nearby surroundings of Sölden.
Just under five kilometers and 106 meters of elevation on asphalt and gravel paths are a child's play even for young riders. Or you can use the route for a short warm-up sprint before tackling serious climbs. The route leads from the Freizeit Arena starting valley downstream towards the north along the Ötztal Radweg 11 and loops back to Sölden at Kaisers. The pleasurable ride along the foaming Ötztaler Ache then leads back to the starting point, the Freizeit Arena.
Author’s recommendation
Tip: A subsequent visit to the Freizeit Arena Sölden completes the children’s program.
