Description

This leisurely ride first runs alongside the Vispa river, then on the other side of the valley along meadows and through sparse mountain forests. Shady spots along the route invite you to take a break and have a picnic.

 

A highlight on this circular bike tour from Täsch to Randa is the view of the Randa landslide. A huge cone of rubble with rocks the size of detached houses bears witness to what happened in 1991. A large part of the mountain broke away in three slides and buried the railway, road and Vispa river. Miraculously, no one was injured.

 

The tour is mostly on tarmac, natural and gravel paths. Mountain bikes are not essential, but slightly wider tyres are advantageous.
