Ever ridden a bike over scree? That's right. The Fernar Trail is reserved for experts for a reason. However, those who know how to cycle in high alpine terrain will find the Fernar Trail a real thrill.
One of the most difficult trails for single trail experts in Tyrol: from the Tiefenbach glacier, the trail leads downhill through high alpine terrain over rocks and scree, extremely steep and exposed in places, with many hairpin bends and blocked sections. A lot is demanded of the riders, the trail is classified as S5 throughout. So it's not for the faint-hearted.
Riding is at your own risk and responsibility. Please assess yourself well and prepare: download the mountain rescue app (download - App Store | download - Google Play) and ensure that you have appropriate insurance. In case of accident, rescue in the rough terrain is only possible with rope!
Attention: No mobile phone reception in some areas!
The path is a shared trail and is also frequented by hikers.
Bringing your own repair materials (extra tube, tool, etc.) is a MUST!
Also bring enough water and pack rain protection!
Well equipped rules! We recommend wearing MTB protective gear (helmet, protectors for knees, elbows, back, etc.) on all lines, trails, enduro routes and mountain bike routes of BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. All routes are exclusively intended for use with mountain bikes that meet today's quality standards.
The Fernar Trail starts at 2,800 m, right after the Rosi-Mittermaier Tunnel. From the start, it requires extreme technical skill and high concentration, because in the exposed rock scenery around Petznersee it goes steeply, with hairpin turns and rocky sections down (and briefly up) to Gaislach. Here, you should definitely plan time to stop at the Alpine huts before enjoying some relaxation on the Löple Trail. Passing the small wooden huts and the inn Sonneck, the Gaislach Trail turns right into the forest and reconnects in the lower section to the Nene Trail - two challenging trails that run root-strewn and rocky through the forest. Towards the end, it goes onto the Schteckler Trail, which ends directly in the Pumptrack ROLLING.
The trail can only be reached with an organized shuttle:
Every Tuesday, Friday & Saturday at 2:30 pm (weather permitting*)Every Sunday at 7:45 am (weather permitting*)
Between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm, the Fernar Trail is exclusively accessible for hikers. During this time, the single trail is closed for mountain bikers!
