Easy and family-friendly route, perfect for exploring the nearby surroundings of Sölden.
The path is also very popular among hikers. Please be considerate of each other.
Gear up! We recommend wearing BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN bike protective gear (elbow guards, knee pads, helmet, back protector, ...) on all lines, trails, enduro tracks, and mountain bike routes. Move within the Republic only with a bike that meets current quality standards.
Just under five kilometers and 106 meters of elevation on asphalt and gravel paths are a child's play even for young riders. Or you can use the route for a short warm-up sprint before tackling serious climbs. The route leads from the Freizeit Arena starting valley downstream towards the north along the Ötztal Radweg 11 and loops back to Sölden at Kaisers. The pleasurable ride along the foaming Ötztaler Ache then leads back to the starting point, the Freizeit Arena.
