Fernar Trail

One of the toughest trails in Tirol! The Fernar Trail is the ultimate challenge in the Bike Republic Sölden and aimed at expert freeriders only. It begins on the edge of the Tiefenbach glacier at 2,800 metres above sea level and winds its way down through steep high alpine terrain, including plenty of natural obstacles. The trail is rated S5 (very difficult) from top to bottom and can be accessed only on specific days using a special shuttle service.
The starting point of this trail near the Tiefenbach glacier can only be accessed using a special shuttle service leaving from the bottom of the Gaislachkoglbahn cable car. The Fernar Trail can be ridden in the morning and afternoon but is closed from 10:00 until 15:00, when it is used by walkers and hikers. Trailriders must be fit, experienced and equipped with all the necessary safety gear in order to negotiate this extremely challenging route. There are no huts or restaurants en route serving food, and in some sections there is no mobile phone reception.
