Equipment

The black trail through the Kühtrainschlucht is demanding and requires some technical skill. 

At the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN, it’s all about shared fun in bike sport – regardless of 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 valley – and nature.

-> Stay on the paved and signposted paths. Do not ride over open meadows!

-> Avoid blocking the rear wheel and thus help preserve the trails.

-> Be considerate of animals & close the pasture gates. There can always be cows on the trails and lines. Ride accordingly cautiously and keep your distance!

-> Please note: Hikers are also on the natural trails of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. Ride cautiously, stop, give way considerately and greet nicely. 

Well equipped rules! We recommend wearing MTB protection gear (helmet, knee, elbow, back protectors, ...) on all lines, trails, enduro routes, and mountain bike routes in the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. All routes are exclusively intended for use with mountain bikes that meet today’s quality standards.

Description

The Kühtrainschlucht was once the only connection between Sölden and Zwieselstein. Nowadays, the trail is used by the BIKE REPUBLICANS for fun purposes. It is rideable both ways, but normally you start in Zwieselstein coming from the Bodenegg Trail. Right at the start, it already offers a technically demanding section in Zwieselstein. The stairs require a lot of courage, especially combined with the narrow railing corridor. There are also two steep climbs that burn your calves before the relatively flowing descent section. In Moos, it continues on asphalt, over the bridge and past the campsite towards the Gaislachkoglbahn.

The trail is part of the route Enduro Silbertal I.

Please watch out for hikers!
