A very beautiful village and a great starting point or destination for mountain bike or road bike tours. The ascent by road bike is along the main road – steep and long. There's a campsite and others in the area, and of course, small hotels or guesthouses – Swiss hospitality! You'll meet many enduro mountain bikers here. I also have a lot of fun here with my downhill trail!
