Sattel - Wildspitz

An easy ascent on mountain and, at the top, gravel roads leads up to the Wildspitz. There are many downhill options from here, here we present the variant to Halsegg (with a few short, more challenging passages) and from here directly down to the saddle. A wonderful tour for spring, summer and fall.

The Rossberg became tragically famous on September 2, 1806. From here, 40 million m3 of Nagelfluh fell down onto the village of Goldau, burying 450 people. With a short detour from the Wildspitz, you can still visit the impressive site today. After a well-earned rest in the summit restaurant with panoramic views to the south, a varied ride begins on panoramic high-altitude paths and rocky trails down to the Halsegg mountain inn. The second part of the descent includes both flowing meadow trails and technical forest trails. A sporty and historically interesting tour with panoramic mountain restaurants along the way.
