Explanation
It climbs and descends moderately high above the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN from the Gaislachkogl mid station to the glacier road.
Afterwards you can continue to the Schlender Trail and make your way back to the Gaislachkogl side via the Gampe Thaya and Gampe Alm pastures, where the OHN LINE awaits, among others. Or you can even continue over the Enduro Schölder M route to Hochsölden and descend via the Leiterberg Trail.
Or you can roll down to the Langgegg chair lift and take it up to the OLLWEITE LINE. Or take the OHN LINE into the valley.
Bartigs Bödele is part of the Enduro Schölder M.
Please note: the trail is also popular with hikers – control your speed, greet and yield!
