The Tour
The blue LETTN LINE is 1.5 km long and runs playfully down through forest and meadows to the Giggijochbahn of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN.
[lɛtn̩] The word Lettn means in the Ötztal (and generally in Tirol) marsh, mud, wet, damp. The LETTN LINE indeed leads through forest and over marshy terrain down to the Giggijoch valley station. The trail builders have sustainably overbuilt the wet passages with Northshore elements. Thus, the final line comes from the GAHE LINE and the Leiterberg Trail with a high wood proportion. Watch out: slippery when wet.
The LETTN LINE is also the grand finale of the 16 km long Long Line Giggijoch – the longest route in the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN.

At the Giggijoch valley station, you can clean your bike at the Tunap Wash Station and then stop for a break at Heiners or the Giggitenne.

Safety guidelines
The LETTN LINE is a blue line and features many playful elements. Thanks to numerous Northshore wood elements, it can also become slippery when wet.
At 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 nature.
–> Stay on the paved and signposted paths. Do not ride over open meadows!
–> Avoid blocking the rear wheel to help preserve the trails.
–> Be considerate of animals and close the pasture gates. Cows may appear on the trails and lines from time to time. Ride cautiously and keep your distance!
