The 18 km long enduro route with around 760 meters of elevation gain and loss connects 2 fine lines in the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN.
The start and finish point of the Hochsölden N enduro 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 get onto the federal road B186, follow this until the junction with the glacier road from the federal road. Then turn right here to climb the steep glacier road up to Hochsölden. Once in Hochsölden, after the strenuous ascent, there is a nice place to rest on the large sun terrace at the Sonnblick restaurant.
The restaurant is located directly at the start of the 7.4 kilometer (!!!) long blue GAHE LINE – enjoy the flow show down to Leitn. From there it continues on the blue LETTN LINE, which ends directly at the valley station of the Giggijochbahn.

Safety information
The GAHE LINE is a red line that is physically demanding. Take your time and use the rest areas along the way. The LETTN LINE is a relaxed flow trail, but the many wooden elements can be slippery!
At BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN it's all about enjoying bike sport together – no matter your riding level. Be considerate of each other 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 paved and signposted paths. Do not ride over open meadows!
-> Avoid blocking the rear wheel and help preserve the trails.
-> Be considerate of animals and close the pasture gates. Cows may always be standing on the trails and lines. Ride accordingly carefully and keep your distance!
