Demanding freeride tour with two quite steep lines in between. The difficulties are quite constant at S1, garnished with various S2 passages.
Already during the driveway with the Giggijochbahn on the right a trail with various Northshore constructions falls on: This is the trail in the Ötztal, which can most likely have a bike park character.Overall, there are two freeride lines in the Hochsölden sector. The already mentioned garnish flowige places with bikeparkartigen elements. However, it also runs in sections in a fairly direct line and therefore comes on a few percent of incline. Therefore, one will (reasonably) hang on the brake more often.The second trail officially starts only at the height of Hochsölden. To get to the trailhead here would also be the first time announced the descent on the steep gravel road. Unofficially, we could not resist the trail descent over the ridge, the right hand just before the mountain station from the cable car lures. This part is not really heavy, but quite alpine. Please deny yourself a fall here!The official trail then runs quite flowig again, but also holds some steep and fairly direct passages. As for all other trails above Sölden is also true here: mostly S1, not infrequently also S2 in the steeper terrain. And suspension is not a mistake here

The Harbe and Gahe lines in particular go down from the Giggijoch. The black ohm full line is quite new. From Hochsölden you can also start on the - deep red - natural trail Leiterbergtrail.
