The Raron-Unterbäch cable car will transport your bike for CHF 3. There are several S2 and S3 after lower. Bergflank also nice to drive.

Luogelkin Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

The originally single-track bridge was also widened when the Lötschberg railway was expanded to two lanes in the 1980s, recognizable by the narrower component without the beam supports for the arch construction of the old bridge.

Suonenweg Ausserberg–St. German

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great section for biking, but it also requires full (at least my) concentration. The path along the bisses is often narrow and down the valley it can be very steep.

June 29, 2022,Südrampe - mit Chnörz 🤪😅

Note to myself: If Garmin reports a deviation from the route, I can save myself altitude meters, pushing and carrying passages. #Tatz

Casual, challenging tour in Wallis. First, a relaxed warm-up to Raron-Steg with the first uphill to Hohtenn. A firework of trails at its finest, with only a few hikers on the way. Due to the risk of falling on the south ramp, one or two pushing sections also had to be overcome. All in all, a tough and demanding round …
