Mountain bike holidays in the Ötztal:
1 valley, 2 tyres, endless variety
The Ötztal is one of the most diverse mountain bike regions in the Alps for your mountain bike holiday in Tyrol. Between Haiming and Obergurgl, you’ll find over 850 kilometres of MTB trails, ten bike lifts and countless options for every riding ability. Whether it’s a leisurely loop around the valley, a scenic hut-to-hut tour or a high-alpine adventure up into glacier regions – in the Ötztal you’ll find exactly the right challenge for you. Tyrol’s longest side valley combines sporting variety with impressive mountain scenery, turning every ride into a true experience of nature.
Bike Republic Sölden & Trail Fun at the Highest Level
The heart of the region is the Bike Republic Sölden – arguably the most ‘flowy’ place in the Alps. Here, you’ll be spoilt for choice between 17 perfectly shaped lines, 16 natural trails, enduro routes, pump tracks and over 310 kilometres of MTB routes. As a beginner, you’ll gain your first trail experience on flowing lines; experienced riders will find their niche on technical singletrack, airtime jump lines and long enduro descents. The trail network is set to expand further for the 2026 season: with the new Hupfar Line for maximum airtime, the Drimmle Line connecting the bike areas, and the new pump track at the Gaislachkogl midway station, the biking experience will become even more varied. Thanks to modern lift infrastructure, you’ll get up the mountain quickly – and enjoy an even smoother ride back down into the valley.
From glacier trails to the tranquil side of the Ötztal
As well as the Bike Republic, the Ötztal also captivates with its enormous scenic diversity. Old alpine paths, panoramic pass roads, challenging summit tours and unspoilt singletrails lead you through one of Tyrol’s most spectacular mountain landscapes. Those looking to rack up some altitude can tackle legendary peaks such as the Wurmkogel, at over 3,000 metres. Alternatively, you can take it easy exploring the Ötztal Trail close to the valley or roll leisurely along the cycle path through quaint villages and past crystal-clear mountain streams. Because the Ötztal offers the best of both worlds: an action-packed community hub and a peaceful retreat. With its glacier panoramas, alpine huts and natural trails, the Ötztal offers everything that makes for a perfect mountain bike holiday – from laid-back to extreme.
