The start is directly at the Fiescheralp mountain station. First, you roll over open meadows and dwarf shrubs, where you can pick up speed on a long straight. But be careful: full concentration is mandatory. Those who reach their limits here should better take the forest roads back or choose the cable car to the valley.
After a short transfer on the forest road, you enter the mountain forest. Initially flowy, with playful elements and forest meadows, then the trail shows its true face: a steep, root-strewn slope demands full technique. Further down it becomes even rockier and rougher, just below the Fiescheralp cable car. Steep sections, tight hairpin turns, rocks, and root carpets alternate – pure enduro challenge.
Several times you briefly cross the forest roads before continuing over exposed forest slopes and technically demanding curves towards the valley. The end offers another surprise: after all the toughness, you will find a playful, flowy section that brings you as a “sweet finish” directly to the valley station.
