View of Lake Walen (Walensee)

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a breathtaking panoramic view of Lake Walen and the Churfirsten mountains. If the visibility is good, you can even see Lake Zurich in the distance behind Lake Walen.

Whether in summer or in winter - the view from here over Lake Walen and to the Churfirsten is simply a dream and when the fog veils the lake in autumn or winter, a completely new landscape is created.

Alp Fursch Alpine Hut

The Alp Fursch is a mountaineering hut at 1,800 meters above sea level. It is open all year round and is a great stop on MTB tours with a beautiful view of the surrounding Alps.

I've been biking in Flumsi numerous times, but never on Spitzmeilen. Premiere today in wonderful autumn weather. But I didn't go all the way up to the hut. When I saw the path, I gratefully declined. Few people on the move, which I love anyway, because the peace and quiet that prevails in the mountains on days like this are …

Very nice tour, the high trail from Maschgenkamm to Spitzmeilenhütte is beautiful and 90% mobile. Simply a dream tour in terms of landscape. Battery 380 W/h, time in motion 4:10 hrs.

A chilly start at Walenstadt train station, then past Gräpplang Castle to Tannenboden. Over Winkelzahn and Seeben up to the Maschgenkamm ridge, frosty on the shady side. Continue over Zigerfurggel on the upper, partly frozen, muddy path to the Spitzmeilenhütte. I didn't want to subject myself to these conditions on the way back. So I headed down to Alp Fursch …

We have combined bike routes 478 and 470, resulting in a round trip from Flums train station up to the Maschgenkamm and via Alp Fursch and the Schilstal back to Flums train station. The descent from Fursch into the Schilstal is almost borderline for my taste with the …

'Alp Fursch Bike 478' from Flums train station to Tannenboden, then changed to the 'Flumserberg Panoramabike 470'. Via Seebenalp to the Maschgenkamm mountain station. Continue in the direction of Alp Fursch and then mostly on forest roads and single trails back to Flums.

In glorious weather from Flums across the lake to the Maschgenkamm, down via various trails

A great tour despite the approximately 140 meters of elevation gain; the higher you go, the more magnificent the view. A magnificent panoramic view of the Churfirsten mountains.
