Climb to Obersee

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Lovely, quiet, stunning climb: 5km straight to the top with the last segment constantly on a double-digit gradient. Not so many cars, but beautiful view. Please don't push for the KOM, just open your eyes and take your camera ready to go for photos of landscape and wildlife. You will arrive at the Lake and, once there, you can also continue if you want, or a stunning plateau through the mountains, but you maybe need some chubby times as the surface is a bit rough.

Obersee Parking at Berghotel Näfels

Highlight • Parking

On both sides of the road, some of them in the shade. Also for non-restaurant visitors but hikers, bikers, walkers ... When the weather is nice, be sure to be early, the large parking lot fills up quickly. In the case of many cars, the road to Obersee in Näfels will then be blocked!
