An attractive mountain bike route for everyone who does not prefer too steep gravel roads. Dream view of Sölden.
Gear up rules! We recommend wearing bike protective gear (elbow pads, knee pads, helmet, back protector, ...) on all lines, trails, enduro routes, and mountain bike routes of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. Only ride within the republic with a bike that meets today's quality standards.
The start and finish point of the mountain bike tour Maria's Alm is the Freizeit Arena in the center of Sölden. Facing the Freizeit Arena, start to the left and follow the Ötztal cycle path 11 to the junction towards Granstein. Follow the Granstein road until Granstein and then take the first left turn. The road soon turns into a forest road, which we follow until reaching Maria's Alm.
An attractive mountain bike tour for all those who seek a short challenge on the ascent but is doable for the average mountain biker – with some short, steep, and challenging climbs in between. After about eight kilometers of ascent, you have earned a break: Maria's Alm lies in a scenic location at almost 1900 meters above sea level. The view extends far across the valley of Sölden and the snow-covered mountains of the main Alpine ridge.
For enduro lovers: After a hearty snack at the beautiful Maria's Alm, the fun descent is just right. For more experienced mountain bikers, the Singletrail Leiterberg is a true delight. Attention: The singletrail occasionally has tough climbs. At the end of the mountain bike tour, you come back to the Giggijoch valley station via the Lettn Line.
