On the quiet (lift-free) side of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN, the natural trail leads from Lochle Alm towards Kleble Alm (or vice versa).
The Lochle Alm Trail is a red route. It is generally rideable but includes a few tight switchbacks.
At BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN, it’s all about the shared fun of bike sport – no matter your riding level. Be considerate of each other and support one another. Also behave respectfully towards all other people on the mountain and in the valley – and towards nature.
-> Stay on the paved and signposted trails. Do not ride across open meadows!
-> Avoid locking the rear wheel and help preserve the trails.
-> Be considerate of animals & close the pasture gates. There may be cows on the trails and lines. Ride cautiously and keep distance!
-> Please note: Hikers also use the natural trails of BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. Ride carefully, stop, yield thoughtfully, and greet nicely.
Well equipped rules! We recommend wearing MTB protective gear (helmet, protectors for knees, elbows, back, ...) on all lines, trails, enduro routes, and mountain bike routes in BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. All trails are exclusively intended for use with mountain bikes that meet current quality standards.The Lochle Alm Trail goes from the last switchback before Kleble Alm towards the Windachtal and the unmanaged Lochle Alm (or in the opposite direction). It runs entirely through forest, is quite flowy, but also spiced with short, sharp climbs and a steep downhill section near the end. In the middle, there is a hiking trail branching off towards Stallwiesalm: keep left here! Also great is that the forest ground is barely affected by rain, so it’s almost always pleasant to ride on.
As with all trails on the quiet side of Sölden: there is no shuttle here, you have to pedal uphill yourself. About 500 meters of elevation gain is required for the route up to the trail entrance.
A complete trail loop is offered by the route Enduro Windach B.
Please watch out for hikers!
