Everything comes together in the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN! This also applies to the Long Lines, which connect the routes – the Long Line Gaislachkogl is 7.3 km long.
Blue, Red, Green (and for those who want, also Black) – every type of trail surface is represented on the Long Line Gaislachkoglbahn. The ride starts at the legendary stone arch of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN onto the blue EEBME LINE, which playfully brings you to the red TEÄRE LINE – have fun surfing the next well over 5 km with more than 130 curves! Those who want and especially those who sit extremely well on their bike can branch off repeatedly from the TEÄRE to the black ZAAHE Jumpline. At the underpass of the glacier road, the line finally meets the BROATE LINE – a wider track with various obstacles such as tables, rollers, and wallride, which can also be bypassed. Those who prefer a more natural route can take the Schteckler Trail down to the Pumptrack ROLLIN in the valley (right by the Gaislachkogl station).
See for yourself: the video of the TEÄRE LINE / ZAAHE LINE video.
Author’s recommendation
You can stop at the Almstube at the middle station or at the Pumptrack ROLLIN, where you can also wash your bike.

You should be technically fit – and physically too – for the Long Line Gaislachkogl. After all, endurance is required over more than 7 km. But you can of course always take breaks in between.
At the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN, it’s all about the shared fun in bike sports – no matter your riding level. Be considerate of each other and support one another. And behave just as respectfully towards all other people on the mountain and in the valley – and towards nature.
–> Stay on the paved and signposted paths. Do not ride over open meadows!
–> Avoid blocking the rear wheel to help preserve the trails.
–> Be considerate of animals & close the pasture gates. Cows can always be present on trails and lines. Ride accordingly carefully and keep your distance!
