A NATION WITH GLACIERS, A REPUBLIC FOR BIKERS It’s a unique project of stately size: we at Sölden, a place nestling in the heart of the Austrian Alps, have built our own nation – dedicated entirely to mountain biking: the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. A huge network of singletrack covers the high alpine scenery. Or as the citizens call it: long lines, non-stop. In wintertime the elite skiers race down the steep glacier here, in summertime bikers roll the rocks of the 7km OLLWEITE LINE.
Ride the nation.
Riders: Thomas Mayerhofer & Johannes Dietl
Film Crew: Pirates Video Production
@all: The lifts are modern, fast and BIG. The most trails begins directly on the lift exits and it´s a wide area with two gondolas and an 6er chairlift. A bunch of different trails. The level goes from beginners to experienced bikers. Most trails are technical or really flowy, a few are boring. The good thing is that they are always building new and long trails. There is no jump line with big doubles and no whip-off jump. However, it´s a cool bikepark. :-)
