The Enduro Zwieselstein is the optimum after-work ride in the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. From the town you pedal via Außerwald & Innerwald to the glacier road and then on to the forest track direction Gaislach/Silbertal. After passing the Waldesruh stick to the left and you will get down to the main road via the recycling depot and the heli landing base. Ride to Zwieselstein and the Hotel Neue Post, cross the Ötztaler Ache and follow the asphalt road, which brings you to the entrance of the Kühtrainschlucht Trail. It's a black track with several tricky sections (narrow corridors, deep steps and roots). You can also ride it from both sides.  

 

Please yield to hikers!

As soon as you reach the fabulous Kühtrainschlucht ravine you should take enough time to marvel at this peaceful Alpine gorge of awesome natural beauty.

You need very good technical skills for the black Kühtrainschlucht track.

 

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.

-> Please note that the natural trails in the BIKE REPUBLIC are all shared trails. Always yield to hikers and give a friendly greeting.
