Tour
On the Urnerboden, the largest and most beautiful Alp in Switzerland, up to 1200 cows are pastured. Nostalgia, rustic atmosphere, and the enjoyment of local products such as alpine cheese are definitely guaranteed!

After a short section on the Klausenpass road, you turn onto the natural road leading to Alp Wängi. The incline is steady and pleasant and takes you along lush alpine pastures over Alp Orthalten to the Fiseten Pass - at 2036 m the highest point of the route and an ideal resting place. Enjoy the unsurpassable panorama over the Urnerboden, the Klausen Pass, the Clariden Glacier, and the Glarus Alps before you take on the enjoyable descent over Alp Gemsfairenhüttli. The next section contains an uphill part again: to the Klausen Pass at 1948 m. The view here also makes the biker's heart beat faster and the restaurant offers refreshments in the purest Alpine air. Then continue down the historic Klausen Pass road. Below the Chlus, the route leads over the historic Klausen road, which winds through the gorge via narrow switchbacks to the Jägerbalm. The last section along the cool Fätschbach takes you on an attractive singletrail back to the starting point at the Port.
