Route to AschbachPhoto: Manuela Holzknecht, ©Ötztal Tourismus - Bernd Ritschel
A top after-work round! From Sölden, you go up about 130 m elevation on the Kaiserwald Route and return to the village via the red Kaiser Trail.
The route leads downstream on the Ötztal Cycle Path and along the mountain bike Kaiserwald Route. At the end of Sölden in Kaisers, turn right towards Höfle. The 130 meters of elevation gain are tackled in one stretch, first on an asphalt road to Höfle and then on a gravel road through the forest. The route then continues on the red Kaiser Trail, which begins at the end of the gravel road. The Kaiser Trail offers some excitement through short root sections and partly steep terrain. When wet, the rich ground takes time to dry again. After about 500 m, the trail joins the Ötztal Cycle Path, which you follow up to the junction towards Brand. In Aschbach, cross the street and follow the Ötztal Cycle Path again downstream back to Sölden.
Please watch out for hikers!

Safety information
The red Kaiser Trail is relatively flowing, but can become really slippery when wet and also offers some more challenging sections.
At the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN, it's all about shared fun in bike sports – no matter what riding level you have. Be considerate of each other and support each other. And behave respectfully towards all other people on the mountain and in the valley – and the nature.
-> Stay on the paved and signposted paths. Do not ride over open meadows!
-> Avoid locking the rear wheel and thus help preserve the paths.
-> Pay attention to animals and close the pasture gates. There can always be cows on the trails and lines. Ride cautiously and keep your distance!
-> Please note: Hikers are also on the nature trails of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. Ride carefully, stop, give way considerately, and greet politely.
