This varied MTB route starts right in the village center of Lenk. From the traffic circle, take Rawilstrasse and after a few meters turn right into Aegertenstrasse. The asphalt soon turns into a natural road. The continuous but easy ascent leads through Wäder and past alpine meadows ever higher towards Betelberg.

After crossing the Wallbach stream, the last steeper section to Leiterli begins. E-bikers have an advantage here. Once at the top, a well-deserved reward awaits: the Leiterli invites you to linger with a charming refreshment stop and an enchanting view - the panorama extends from the Gryden to the Wildstrubel massif to the Spilgerten.

The route continues along a well-maintained alpine road down to Pöschenried. The road winds its way through gentle alpine meadows and short forest passages - always with impressive views, especially of the mighty Iffigfall, down into the valley. You roll back to the village on asphalt.

The tour is signposted Route 32V as far as Leiterli. The descent is via the scooter route.

The route is easy to ride throughout and ideal for those who prefer to ride on wide paths - there are no single trails.
