It climbs and descends moderately high above the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN from the Gaislachkogl mid station to the glacier road.
Afterwards you can pedal up to the Rettenbachtrail to make you way over to the Gaislachkogl side. 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!
