Mountain Biking Highlight (Segment)
Recommended by 107 out of 111 mountain bikers
The Leiterberg Trail is located high above the Leite district, one of the original farms in the history of Sölden. While it is still flowing, moderate and with a breathtaking panorama in the upper area, after a stop at the rustic Leiterberg Alm it is technically demanding. Here in the Bike Republic of Sölden, mountain bikers can look forward to a natural singletrack, peppered with roots and stones, at a distance of 4.6 km and a depth of 550 meters. The lower part with its tight curves and difficult passages will challenge even advanced bikers. Beginners enjoy their flow experience above the Alm and can bypass the difficult sections on the forest path.

The entry to Hochsölden is still quite moderate. This is also a so-called shared trail that you share with hikers. Accordingly, one should be considerate when traveling. As far as the Leiterberg Alm, the trail is easily manageable even for the less experienced. The wooden bridge over the Haimbach in the first third of the trail (before the section that is marked here) can be quite slippery, otherwise it's okay. Then it becomes more challenging. Less experienced mountain bikers can continue down the forest road that crosses the trail again and again. This is followed by steep blocked passages with roots (more slippery than the stones) and steps as well as tight curves. The choice of line is crucial here. Shortly before the end, stone slabs and wooden elements. You can tell from the trail that it was black until 2018. A total of 4.6 km and 550 meters in depth have to be overcome before, after a short ascent on asphalt, the flowing "Lettn Line" descends to the Giggijoch valley station. A fully is recommended, but a hardtail is also possible (assuming the appropriate line selection).

Technically demanding and sometimes more black than red, but still great to drive
