    The Nene is a natural track that runs along on an old, traditional route. Hence, the name: Nene is how the locals call their grandfather. The trail starts on the left of the Gaislachkogl mid station and takes you to the very borders of the BIKE REPUBLIC. In the upper part, you ride right into the most breath-taking, jaw-dropping alpine scenery. But stop for looking and taking pictures – otherwise keep your eyes on the track! It is rocky, wet and demanding. You pass two huts before diving into the forest, where it gets even more technical with challenging root and rock sections. At the bottom, the Nene threads into the BROATE LINE and Schteckler Trail, which take you back down to Sölden.

    Author’s recommendation

    The trail can be reached on the Gaislach Mountain Bike Route (644) or by mountain lift - Gaisalchkogl Gondola I. This route makes a real insider tip within the giant BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN.

    Safety information

    The Nene Trail is a very demanding track only suitable for technically skilled riders.

     

    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.
