A challenging route through Schöllenen, on a mountain pass road and finally over natural paths up to one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Central Alps. 

From Göschenen to the Häderlisbrücke in the Schöllenenschlucht, the route runs on the main road; there, you switch to the other side of the valley onto a narrow, quite steep path. 

At Brüggwald, the main road is crossed, where the old mule track is an alternative to the main road. After the Devil's Bridge, you reach Andermatt and continue on the Oberalp pass road to Nätschen. From there, you ride on a natural road to Gütsch and further up to Stöckli. 

The descent through Riental is very difficult and should only be attempted in dry conditions. It starts at the highest 180-degree curve below Stöckli; the entrance to the path is on the right when viewed from above near the military cable car. On the way down to Göschenen, over 1300 meters of altitude must be overcome. In the lowest part, you often have to push the bike - due to scree, high steps, or yawning abyss.
