An attractive mountain biking tour for all those who prefer not to climb steep gravel trails. Fantastic views of Sölden.

Wonderful mountain bike tour offering a variety of gravel routes which are not too step for average bikers. The tour is rated "black" due to a number of very challenging ascents followed by two really demanding single trail downhill sections.

After about 8 kilometers you deserve a break at lovely Maria's Alm at almost 1900 m above sea level. The panoramic views of Sölden, the entire valley and its snow-topped mountains are really unique.

Narrow paths with steep descents take you downhill, requiring experience and excellent riding techniques.

The asphalt road winds its way uphill to the hamlet of Granstein, from where a forest trail leads straight to Maria's Alm.
