Description

Starting in the village, the route leads along the paved road to the Restaurant Ried, until the path gradually changes to a gravel road and runs through fragrant larch forests. Shortly before Sunnegga, you cross the tree line and the mountain panorama including the Matterhorn opens up.

At Sunnegga there are many connection possibilities in practically all directions: the fun descent on the Sunnegga Flowtrail, gourmet enjoyment in Findeln, or extend the route to Riffelalp

This route does not strictly require a mountain bike, but slightly wider tires are advantageous.
