Starting on road up to the glacier, the Rettenbachtrail winds down towards Hochsölden. High above the tree line, it offers a jaw-dropping view. It's fairly easy to ride – and you can also pedal it up from the other side. 

You can start at the Gaislachkogl mid-station, take the Bartig's Bödele Trail and pedal a short it up to the entry of the Rettenbachtrail. In Hochsölden you can either take the OHN LINE or the Leiterberg Trail – with the latter you complete the Long Trail Schölder (13.3 km & 1.060 m descent).

The track is also part of the Enduro Schölder M.

 

The Rettenbachtrail is popular with hikers – please watch out, greet & yield!

Author’s recommendation

At the end you find a fantastic culinary stop: the Restaurant Sonnblick.

Safety information

The Rettenbachtrail is a blue flow ride. The following Leiterberg Trail, however, is much more challenging.

 

The BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN is all about coming together and having the best time on your mountain bike – no matter what your skill level is. So always take care of each other, show respect and support – also towards nature and all other people out there in the mountains and the valley.

 

> Please only ride existing, signposted trails and never trespass open meadows.

-> Avoid skidding, don’t cut switchbacks & leave no trace.

-> Stay alert, never scare animals and always close the pasture gates. In the REPUBLIC there’s always a chance of cattle on the trails and lines. Ride carefully and give them enough room.

-> Please note that the natural trails in the BIKE REPUBLIC are all shared trails. Always yield to hikers and give a friendly greeting.
