The Tour
The red Gampe Trail is a short but crisp single trail that takes you to the Gampe Alm huts and then to the Ohn Line or Langegglift (Ollweite Line). It is an important feeder route to the "Gaislachkogl" area: Take the forest road from Hochsölden (entry Gahe Line) heading downhill to reach the Gampe Trail.
If you follow the forest road (transfer route) from Hochsölden downhill you will reach the Gampe Trail. Another option is to ride the Ollweite Line to the lowest section and turn left onto the transfer route at the wooden bridge. The Gampe Trail leads over a short, steep section to the managed huts on Gampe plateau: the legendary Gampe Thaya and the Gampe Alm. After food and drink, follow the Schlender Line towards the valley station Langeggbahn. From here you can shuttle up to the OLLWEITE LINE or return to the valley via the OHN LINE.
Please watch out for hikers!
Take your time for your break. People like to sit a little longer on the Gampe sunny terraces.

Safety guidelines
The Gampe Trail winds quite steeply down to the Gampe and demands riding skills.
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 to nature.
–> Stay on the paved and signposted paths. Do not ride across open meadows!
–> Avoid locking the rear wheel and help preserve the trails.
–> Be considerate of animals and close pasture gates. There can always be cows standing on trails and lines. Ride accordingly carefully and keep distance!
–> Please note: Hikers are also on the natural trails of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. Ride carefully, stop, yield considerately, and greet politely.
