Up here you have a great view of both sides. But that also means that you are exposed to something and therefore it is advisable to have a windbreaker here. …

Flowy, very scenic e-mountain bike tour with sporty climbs and some tough downhills.

We found the tour in the profile of @Daniela H. ☀️❄️ and @moelipesche and cycled it with a few slight deviations. Thanks to both of you for the inspiration 👍.

August 9, 2024,Mountainbike-Tour von Sarnen über Melchsee-Frutt ins Skigebiet Hasliberg und via Lungernsee zurück nach Sarnen

Today I went on a wonderful bike tour with an old ski ace. I'm faster on skis, but I don't want to keep up on the bike...
There's not much to describe. The title and the photo say almost everything. Endless Alpine trails... not all of them are rideable. But I did ride the whole last stretch before Planplatten. The …

A flowing, scenic e-mountain bike ride with challenging climbs and some tough downhills.

We did this tour two years ago, but with a slightly different twist. Today we replaced the steep climb on the asphalt road up to Melchsee-Frutt with the gondola, comfortably covering 850 meters of elevation gain.

At the invitation of @Urs D., I headed to a new biking region for me today - the canton of Obwalden. @Nitrox4 joined us to complete our team.

So, from Sachseln, we first went to the valley station of the Melchsee Frutt cable car. On the first stretch, we already got an initial idea of what to expect today in …

The Hasliberg tour over the Melchsee-Frutt has become famous because it is said to contain the longest single trail in Switzerland. Starting in Gsiwl, the tour leads over the Melchsee Frutt, Balmeregghorn, Hasliberg Alpentower, Häggen Alp, Käserstatt, to the promising Gibel and then down to Lungern and back to Giswil. I had promised Daniela H. this wonderful tour for a …

A very impressive tour in terms of landscape! Likewise, the trails from Balmeregghorn to Planplatten, Hääggen and from Gibel for ages down to Lungern and Giswil! The tour through my ski areas has made a good mark on Moelipesche. Tour description moelipesche can be found below!

From Sarnen train station take the bus to Stöckalp and then the train up to Melchseefrutt to the start of the tour. While queuing at the cash desk on the Stöckalp we met Daniela H. and Moelin Pesche 😄 nice to meet them in person and not just on Komoot.👍 The ascent to the Balmeregghorn had some steep ramps, the …
