The route

Running parallel to the old Windach road, accessible via Route 651 Kleble Alm. The red Windach Alm Trail travels through picture-book Windachtal valley. There are no mountain lifts so you reach the trail only by using your own muscle power.

A quite easy and very flowing trail that travels above and almost parallel to the old Windach Forest Trail. This route is much broader than other passages, and features grippy pebble stones or sandy forest soil also rideable in wet weather. Caution at the gate in the first quarter: be careful when opening it as the slope is steeply inclining on the left side. Later the trail crosses the old Windach Forest Trail twice. Please pay special attention to walkers and hikers.

Author’s recommendation

You can perfectly combine the Waindach Trail with other routes in Sölden's Silent Part: for example, the Lochle Alm Trail (6014) or the black and very challenging Jägers Notweg Trail (673). Jägers Notweg is reserved to very skilled bikers!
