Description

Starting from Walenstadt railroad station, you cycle through the town and then along the very spacious cycle path via Tscherlach to Berschis. In the village center, the path forks and you follow the signpost to Kurhaus Sennis. From here, the steady ascent begins on a solid, small mountain road. After just a few hundred meters, you will catch a glimpse of St. George's Chapel on the right, a true monument to art.

After 14 bends, you have left the steepest part of the route behind you. There are still around 100 meters of ascent to go, which winds along the rocks at a very pleasant gradient towards the day's destination.

At the Hotel Kurhaus Sennis you will find refreshments, rest, relaxation and new energy. Keep an eye out for golden eagles, ibex and chamois.

Return via the same route down the valley towards Walenstadt and the deep blue Walensee.
