Tour
Bike tour on the largest alp in Switzerland.

After a short stretch on the Klausenpass road, turn onto the natural road leading to Alp Wängi. The incline is regular and pleasant, taking you along lush alpine pastures over Alp Orthalten to the Fisetenpass - at 2036 m the highest point of the tour and an ideal resting place. Enjoy the unsurpassed panorama over the Urnerboden, Klausenpass, Clariden Glacier, and the Glarus Alps before taking on the enjoyable descent over the Alp Gemsfairenhüttli.

The next section includes another climb: up to Klausenpass at 1948 m. The view here will also make any biker's heart beat faster, and the restaurant offers refreshments in the purest alpine air. Continue on the historic Klausenpass road downhill. Below the Chlus, the tour passes over the old military road, which winds through the gorge via tight switchbacks to Jägerbalm. The last section along the cooling Fischbach takes you back to the starting point at the Port on an attractive single trail.
