Bike Republick Sölden: "'Again and again' is what Harbe means in the Ötztal dialect. And believe us, that's exactly what you'll think after the first (and second...) HARBE ride: again! It's playful, fun and exciting."

Bike Republic Sölden: “Ollweite” usually in conjunction with “auf”: af Ollweite. In the Ötztal dialect, Ollweite means in the open air, in open terrain, outside the yard, somewhere outside. The line starts below the Langegg mountain station at 2,600 m, ends at the Hühnersteign and, at 7 km, is one of the longest lines in the Republic. It is physically demanding and extremely varied with cool berms, slightly blocked stone fields and wooden structures.

A good starting point for hikes towards Schwarzkogel and Rettenbachferner

The Fernar Trail is a typical alpine hiking trail that, under certain conditions of the Bikerepublic, may be ridden by mountain bike. The trail itself is typically rocky, with many off-camber sections and, above all, a lot of loose scree. Flowy sections are rare, and switchbacks alternate with steep rocks – in some places, there is a risk of falling. Overall, I would classify the trail as S4, as braking distances are usually at least short and, with good technique, everything is generally rideable. Shifting the rear wheel is almost always possible – however, the loose material requires adapted technique. Despite all the challenges, the Fernar is worth the experience, and even if you can't ride the entire trail, it offers fantastic views and a great opportunity to test your limits. For enduro enthusiasts traveling in the Bikerepublic, it's a definite must – and a highlight.

Very worth seeing, you have to see it

Anyone looking to take on an epic challenge in Sölden should definitely not miss the Fernar Trail. The key data alone is awe-inspiring. The start is at over 2,800 meters above sea level at the Tiefenbachferner glacier, and the almost 1,400 meters of descent down to Sölden give you an idea of what awaits you. The technical difficulty and steepness of the terrain further make the trail an absolute challenge. Added to that are many exposed sections that will also challenge your mind. In this light, it wasn't surprising that I preferred to push my bike on a few sections. The terrain is sometimes too exposed, and you'd be too remote in the event of a serious fall. Therefore, it's advisable to measure your risk. Apart from that, the panorama and landscape you ride through are so impressive that a moderate pace promises more enjoyment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srkuxbsHloQ
