The Tour
Hairpin turns, steep terrain, rocky & wet sections – the black Bodenegg Trail offers everything top bikers could dream of on a natural path.
The Bodenegg Trail is a challenging natural path that runs on the edge of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN from the hamlet of Gaislach to Zwieselstein. At the start, it leads beautifully and idyllically over the alpine meadows with a magnificent view. From the tree line, it becomes significantly more demanding: it offers some hairpin bends, rocky spots, pushing sections, and wet-slippery terrain.
It ends in the hamlet Bodenegg on the Venter Landesstraße. There, you ride briefly downhill before turning right onto the forest road. From there, you continue to Zwieselstein either via the black Kühtrainschlucht Trail or the federal road.
Extremely skilled bikers can connect the Bodenegg Trail to the Fernar Trail.
The Bodenegg Trail is also part of the Enduro Route Silbertal I.

Safety guidelines
The black Bodenegg Trail requires very good riding skills and a head for heights. It is really only for top bikers.
In the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN, it's about the shared fun of bike sport – no matter your skill level. Be considerate of each other and support one another. Also, behave 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 blocking the rear wheel and help preserve the trails.
–> Be considerate of animals & close the pasture gates. Cows can often be on the trails and lines. Ride cautiously and keep your distance!
–> Please note: Hikers are also on the natural trails of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. Ride carefully, stop, give way considerately, and greet nicely.
