Details

Description

The route starts practically at Walenstadt railroad station. First, it's a leisurely ride through the historic town. After a leisurely roll-in, the ascent begins. The route leads past meadows and through forests. On the way, you can ring the bell at the Glockenrank.

After a short breather, the route continues through the countryside, past magnificent views, to the "Bim Heiligen" bend. Here an unpaved road leads over Vorderbüls and Hinterbüls to our destination, the Tschingla Alp.

The alp is farmed and is the perfect place to take a break and enjoy the magnificent view. Take in the spectacular mountain panorama and recharge your batteries before taking the same route back down into the valley.
