Segnes Trail (oua_65006536_fff64be_profile)

After the climb with the FlemX, you get straight down to business: the start of the Segnestrail winds its way over rocky steps to a first intermediate plateau. From there, it gets smoother – and faster! When you arrive in Startgels, you'll have a big grin on your face.

Description

From the Segnes Hut, you have the best view of the Segnesboden and the famous Tschingelhörner peaks. It's actually a great place to linger. But below the Segnes Hut, the Segnes Trail awaits, a red enduro trail that takes you down to the FlemX station in Startgels.

From the start of the Segnes Trail, the trail leads over large stone slabs, through technical bends and over large steps. Once you have mastered the first few metres, the trail becomes more flowing and offers playful combinations of bends, jumps and waves.

At the end of the trail in Startgels, you have several options:

Continue downhill on the Runca Trail
Take the mountain railway back up and conquer the Segnes Trail once again
Take the mountain railway up to Nagens Sura and tackle the Nagens Trail.

Hidden Gem

Great food (homemade cake!) at the Segnes Hut and at Startgels!

Leave your bike at the Segnes Hut and take a short walk through the protected moorland of the lower Segnesboden with views of the Tschingelhörner, where a million-year-old overthrust of earth masses is visible.

Safety Note

Wear appropriate protective gear: helmet, arm and knee protectors.

When wet, the top section on the rocks can be slippery in places. If can also skip this section by following the mountain road and enter the trail further down.
