Sölden wants to build up to 20 flow trails

While many regions enjoy a single flow trail, the Ötztal has bigger plans. Up to 20 such flow trails are to be built in the coming years. It all starts with the Teäre-Line, a freshly shoveled bike descent that was recently opened. The "Bike Republic Sölden" has therefore been confidently proclaimed.

The new Teäre Line is no small feat either. It is six kilometers long and has 130 bends along the way. 700 vertical meters are "destroyed" on it. The idea was to create the longest possible pump track. The descent leads from the middle station of the Gaislachkogelbahn to the center of Sölden and was created by Josha Forstreuter.

The position of tourism director Oliver Schwarz is remarkable. The planned 20 flow trails are based on the approach of how winter sports resorts are designed and operated. "The concept is the same as for ski slopes, to develop an entire area that is unique in the Alps," Schwarz comments on the ambitious plans.
