Highlight • Mountain Pass

Actually, the highest road point in the Alps is 2km further on the Tiefenbachferner after the tunnel at 2829m, you should definitely take it with you! The highest road point …

Very refreshing and as long as the glacier still exists... - it is currently being covered. 😃

July 16, 2022,🚴🏻‍♀️Radwanderung 🥾zum RETTENBACHgletscher 🗻

Today I'm going uphill again - I wanted to mention that 😉 SPOILERS: there are almost only mountain pictures 🏔 to see and lots of them!

This is not a classic Mtb tour, nor is it a brisk lap. Since I didn't see any glaciers or mountain lakes last year, it became urgent now 😬

Sad how little is left of the glacier 😣
After the legs only fought once for a short time, we went up to the highest street point in Europe 💪

September 3, 2021,MTB Sölden Enduro Gletscher Express reloaded (👍👍👍🚵 Tour)

Approx. 110kg system weight 2 hours in the blazing sun towed 1400hm on the glacier + again on the Seekogl to get started in the Bike Republic. The 16km in the bike park on the downhill trails were great but also super exhausting towards the end. Great tour

This evening, we finally found time to post Day 2 in Sölden here on Komoot. True to the motto: "Better late than never" 😆🙈😜

On Saturday morning, we set off on our e-bikes toward the Glacier Road. Always following our noses, always climbing, and even higher up the mountain.

July 25, 2024,🇦🇹 Sölden 4.0 - Die Trails haben wir uns verdient 😅

Trail day: Ollweite Line, Ohn Line, Gahe Line, Harbe Line, Schtirggar Line. And a few nice huts in between: Sonnblick, Obstler, Philipp. The 1,730 meters of elevation were worth it. 😅 And everything is easily doable with a bit of trail experience.

July 20, 2022,𝐒𝐎̈𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐚𝐠 𝟖: Gletscherexpress extreme (reloaded)

After yesterday's Relaxday, today should be high again - in the truest sense of the word. I was also packed properly because I had to take a lot of water and the equipment for the later DH ride with me. It was important to keep an eye on the weather, because there was supposed to be a thunderstorm at 2 …
