Details

Description

The start along Obersee is relatively leisurely. Then it really starts. The Eichhörnliweg and the Prätschli with bus stop and hotel form the first highlights on the demanding route. Now it goes downhill for a moment – the first and only time. From the Maran junction, there is hardly any respite. The sections in the areas of Arlenwald and Scheidegg offer a welcome change. The last extremely steep kilometer from the Sattelhütte up to the Weisshorn is really tough. On the summit, which is equally well known among winter sports enthusiasts as well as hiking and bike lovers, visitors at 2,649 meters above sea level are rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view and thus a lucrative reward for the effort.
