If anywhere on the map of Europe deserves the title of Bike Republic, it’s undoubtedly Sölden. Lifts that carry bikes, well-equipped service shops, bike-friendly hotels, and above all a network of superbly prepared trails — from flowing flow trails to technical singletrack high in the mountains.
The most convenient route usually runs through Germany, though some may prefer an alternative via Czechia. A vignette is required in Austria. The final kilometres run along an especially scenic road — switchbacks, mountains and rushing streams.
