This lonely and idyllic valley is a true flower paradise, especially in spring. The landscape protection area of regional importance also features a variety of small moor areas. The destination of the route is the Oberstafel, located at 2221 m above sea level at the foot of Pizzo Lucendro. From Oberstafel via Realp, bikers roll back along the same way through the Ursern Valley to Andermatt."
