  • 867 m

This varied MTB route starts directly in the village centre of Lenk. From the roundabout, head along Rawilstrasse and shortly thereafter turn right onto Aegertenstrasse. Soon the asphalt turns into a natural road. The continuous but easily rideable ascent leads through forests and past alpine meadows, steadily higher towards Betelberg.

After crossing the Wallbach stream, the final steeper section to Leiterli begins. E-bikers have an advantage here. Once at the top, a well-deserved reward awaits: Leiterli invites you to relax with a charming place to stop and a delightful view – the panorama stretches from the Gryden to the Wildstrubel massif and to the Spilgerten.

The route continues down a well-ridable alpine road into Pöschenried. The road winds through gentle alpine meadows and short forest sections – again and again with impressive views, especially of the mighty Iffigfall waterfall, into the valley. You can roll back relaxed on asphalt to the village.

The route is marked up to Leiterli with Route 32V. The descent takes place on the scooter track.

The trail is continuously easy to ride and ideal for those who prefer wide paths – there are no single trails.
