Double black!! The technically very demanding OLM VOLLE LINE runs for 1.5 km through steep terrain – wild, airy, technical! Only for pros and very experienced riders!
[ɔl̩m̩ ↗ føːlə] Full throttle always – OLM VOLLE – is the slogan of the Ötztal junior world champion Laura Stigger. She was the sponsor of the double black, extremely demanding LINE, which is only suitable for very (!) experienced riders. The competition-ready enduro trail runs through steep, challenging terrain and is packed with wallrides, wild roots and rocky sections, step-ups, step-downs, drops, and massive jumps up to 14 m! The line challenges even the most skilled riders; inspecting the trail in advance is MANDATORY!
Access is via the GAHE LINE. The start is located below the Obstler hut at the Rotkoglbahn. In Grünwald, you then merge back into the GAHE.
Author’s recommendation
You can stop by the Panorama Alm in Grünwald or at the Giggijoch valley station. You can also clean your bike at the Tunap Wash Station.

Double black means seriously difficult! Anyone approaching the OLM VOLLE LINE should master their MTB to the maximum and of course wear appropriate safety gear!
At BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN, it's about shared fun in bike sports – no matter 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 towards nature.
–> Stay on the paved and signposted trails. Do not ride over open meadows!
–> Avoid locking your rear wheel to help preserve the trails.
–> Be considerate of animals & close pasture gates. Cows may be on the trails and lines from time to time. Ride cautiously and keep your distance!
