From Realp, the route ascends on the pass road to Tiefenbach. Those who wish can shorten this section by PostBus (Attention: Make a reservation for the PostBus). Then follows the final ascent to Tätsch. At the top begins the real trail fun: The Höhenweg offers spectacular views, playful sections, and short, sharp climbs. The final descent through the wide valley basin to Andermatt requires concentration but remains rideable. At the destination, Andermatt offers places to rest and bike wash stations—ideal for relaxing and enjoying."
