Details

Description

The start is in Unterterzen. The first altitude meters are overcome effortlessly with the "Bergjet" cable car. Arrived at Tannenboden, you get on the bike immediately. The first stage goal can be the Prodalp mountain inn. This is perfect for a short break. Refreshed, you continue through beautiful nature towards Alp Fursch. The rustic alpine hut invites you to linger. Here you can take a break from everyday life. Then continues the descent through the beautiful Schilstal. The path through the forest must be taken with caution. After the short adrenaline rush, it goes comfortably towards Flums. At Flums, the path leads along the Seez river to Walenstadt. There, the lake promenade is perfect for a last break. With a jump into Lake Walen or a nice ice cream, you can cool off ideally. Refreshed and lively, it goes back along the lake to Unterterzen.
