Drimmle Line: A smart connection with real added value
At BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN, it’s all about sharing the fun of biking together — no matter your riding level. Be considerate of one another, support each other, and show the same respect to everyone else on the mountain, in the valley, and to nature.
→ Stay on the maintained and signposted trails. Do not ride across open meadows.
→ Avoid locking up your rear wheel and help preserve the trails.
→ Be mindful of animals and close pasture gates behind you. Cows may occasionally be standing on the trails and lines, so ride carefully and keep your distance.
Being well equipped rules! We recommend wearing MTB protective gear on all lines, trails, enduro routes and mountain bike routes in BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN (helmet, knee, elbow and back protectors, etc.). All routes are intended exclusively for use with mountain bikes that meet current quality standards.Short, but hugely relevant to the riding experience in the Bike Republic, the new Drimmle Line (Ötztal dialect for “a little bit”) creates a smart connection with real value. This blue-rated link trail, around 400 metres long, bridges the routes on the Gaislachkogl with those on the Giggijoch. In practice, this means riders can now move between both areas without having to return to the valley and use the road.
This new connection does not just make the trail network bigger, but above all more intelligent. The Drimmle Line improves flow, reduces unnecessary detours, and opens up new possibilities for combining runs on the mountain more flexibly.
Arrival by train
