Go stretch, shake out hands and arms, massage your thighs – there are 16 km of finest riding material waiting for you BIKE REPUBLICANS. But don't worry, there are numerous options to stop, recover, enjoy, eat and drink!

You start at the top of the Langegg chair lift on 2.660 m into the red OLLWEITE LINE. Circle around the lake, enjoy the berms and rollers and after about 2 km turn into the blue TROALN LINE. It's an easy ride across to the Giggijoch side, where the flowy (but steep) HARBE LINE is waiting. In Hochsölden you better stop at the Sonnblick restaurant before tackling the blue, 7.4 km long (!) GAHE LINE. You finish off with a surf on the LETTN LINE to the Giggijoch station.

Author’s recommendation

Regenaration spots include the Rotkogelhut (at the start), Restaurant Sonnblick (Hochsölden) and the Panorama Alm (Grünwald).

Safety information

The Long Lines combine tracks of different skill levels. Be physically and technically prepared for a challenging, long ride.

 

The BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN is all about coming together and having the best time on your mountain bike – no matter what your skill level is. So always take care of each other, show respect and support – also towards nature and all other people out there in the mountains and the valley.

 

> Please only ride existing, signposted trails and never trespass open meadows.

-> Avoid skidding, don’t cut switchbacks & leave no trace.

-> Stay alert, never scare animals and always close the pasture gates. In the REPUBLIC there’s always a chance of cattle on the trails and lines. Ride carefully and give them enough room.
