Three pump tracks on the valley floor are also extremely popular with youngsters: Sunny and Rollin' in Sölden, home of the BIKE REPUBLIC. Another pump track can be found in Oetz right on the Ötztal Cycle Trail and only a stone's throw away from the base station of Acherkogel mountain gondola, adjacent to the adventurous outdoor swimming pool and the Kids Park Oetz. And as if that weren't enough: At the gondola's top station in Hochoetz, children can explore the giant WIDIVERSUM adventure land in a natural setting at 2020 meters altitude.
Cycle tours with children
Biking and cycling? Child's play!
A warning in advance: If you put your children on a bicycle in Ötztal, you have to be prepared for the fact that the youngsters will soon overtake you. They learn to roll on their balance bicycles very early and the kids also love it. Cycling gives them the feeling of freedom and independence, after all they can control themselves and proceed quickly. Additionally, there are action and fun in abundance. They certainly don't reflect on motor skills training - we parents probably do…
Pump it up!
Successful schooling
Biking in summer has already become the matching sports to skiing in winter. Our expert bike schools have been offering a special program for young people already for several years. The youngest ones start on the valley floor while the older and more advanced kids already hit the trails of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN.
