Super tour, which is easy to organize with travel by SBB. All ascents are moderate. Some sections are picture-perfect - and you are moving in a part of Switzerland where the gastronomy has also stayed refreshingly down-to-earth. Recommendation: Lunch at the Sternen in Neu St. Johann and a refreshment stop after the descent from the Schwägalp at the "Altes Bild" inn in Eggerstanden. Oh yes, and don't shoot all your powder at the Schwägalppass... there are still a few ascents that get quite tough after 80 kilometers.

Descent on Schwägalp Pass Road

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Wide large mountain pass road, not ideal for MTB. With MTB, it's better to use the old mountain pass road from Schwägalp. Except for downhill shredding...

Alpstein Range with Säntis

Highlight • Summit

The Säntis is at 2501.9 m above sea level. M. the highest mountain in the Alpstein (Eastern Switzerland). Due to the exposed, northern upstream location of the Alpstein, the mountain is a landmark that can be seen from afar.
