Ideal for families and bike beginners. Most of the route runs along natural paths, the only section on singletrails is between Zumdorf and Steinbergen.

From Andermatt station, the route leads towards Bäzberg. Soon the first steep climb begins, rewarding bikers with a magnificent view over Andermatt. After a short descent, you roll along a gravel path that turns into a flowy riverside trail until Realp. Shortly after, the station of the Furka steam railway is passed. The bike route continues towards Schweig in the Witenwasser valley; a beautiful singletrail leads back to Realp. Until Zumdorf, you ride along the riverside trail, then continue on the main road to Hospental. Just at the village entrance, a narrow trail branches off towards the old tower. On the way back to Andermatt, you cycle along the Reuss river. At the village entrance, the climb to Flies begins on the right, where you have to overcome the last steep ramps of the round. As a reward, a short but flowy trail descent follows to Rohr in the Unteralptal. Back to Andermatt, you continue on the alpine road.
