Erstfeld, railway village and energy town with the eponymous side valley, is easily accessible by public transport. The relatively short route offers you all facets and elements of an attractive bike route and is optimally combinable with other routes.

Already after the turn into Talweg, just outside Erstfeld, the majestic Schlossberg shows you the direction. The winding valley road challenges you from the start with a steep climb. On the valley road, you pass the charming hamlets and homesteads typical of dispersed settlements in the Urner mountain areas. At Bergheimetli Wilerli at 1085 m above sea level, you have also reached the highest point of your route. The subsequent singletrail over Plattental, with the short, technically demanding descent via the alp path at Bockitobel, makes the biker’s heart beat faster. At Bockiberg, you reach the most impressive viewpoint of the route. Take a moment to let your gaze wander over the entire valley floor and the lower Reuss valley. In Hofstetten, next to the nostalgic cable car Hofstetten-Wilerli with an open cabin, you reach the valley floor.

Note
The route is continuously signposted with No. 405.
