Tour
The varied route above Erstfeld combines steep climbs, scenic alpine roads and technical singletrail sections with impressive views of the Reuss valley in Uri.

The tour starts in Erstfeld and leads directly into the side valley of the same name. Shortly after the village, the striking Schlossberg mountain points the way. The route climbs steadily along the winding valley road, with some steeper sections right from the start. Along the way, you pass typical Uri scattered settlements, small hamlets and remote homesteads, which give the valley its original character.

At Bergheimetli Wilerli at around 1,085 m above sea level, the tour reaches its highest point. M. the tour reaches its highest point. This is followed by the most varied part of the tour: a beautiful single trail leads through the Plattental valley before a short, technically demanding descent along the alpine path at Bockitobel. The viewpoint at Bockiberg is particularly impressive, with views over the entire valley floor and the lower Reuss valley.

You then return to the valley floor via Hofstetten. Right next to the nostalgic Hofstetten-Wilerli aerial cableway, the route leads leisurely along the Reuss back to Erstfeld. A short but varied tour for bikers looking for a mixture of natural roads, views and the first technical trail sections.
