At the exit of the village of Göschenen, the first ramp awaits up to just before Abfrutt; before the hamlet, turn left onto a natural path. In Wiggen, you cross the Göschenen Reuss back onto the paved road, which leads through some unlit tunnels. After a few bends, you reach the valley basin at the campsite in Gwüest.
At the Göscheneralp restaurant, there is a first opportunity to stop. From the restaurant, the route goes up to the dam. The Dammagletscher restaurant offers relief here from hunger and thirst.
Directly over the dam, the path leads to the start of the descent; the initial ride path turns into a narrow hiking trail. Just before the path merges again into a small rideable road, a few large boulders force bikers to get off the bike for a few meters.
A challenge awaits after the campsite, where the path leads over rocky sections - a delight for experts. Those not technically skilled push their bike for a maximum of 15 minutes. The same route from Wiggen leads back to Göschenen.
