The half-day excursion offers a varied tour, and those in search of idyll, solitude and alpine floral splendor will get their money's worth.

The tour starts in Andermatt and leads on the flat first section via Hospental to Zumdorf, the smallest village in Switzerland. The ride continues to Realp. Immediately after the Des Alpes restaurant, follow the road to the left. You then pass the station of the nostalgic Furka-Bergstrecke steam train. With a bit of luck, you can marvel at the old steam locomotives panting their way towards the Furka Pass. The route continues along the old military road into the Witenwasserental valley. The secluded and idyllic valley is a true paradise of flowers, especially in spring. The landscape conservation area of regional importance also has a large number of small moorland areas. The destination of the tour is the Oberstafel at the foot of the Pizzo Lucendro at 2221 m above sea level.

From Oberstafel via Realp, bikers take the same route as on the outward journey back through the Ursern Valley to Andermatt.
