EN Tough climbs and good single trails with a fantastic view. A mountain bike tour with everything that makes a biker's heart beat faster.
You have to earn the trails on this route. First you have to cover 780 m on asphalt to Laubbärgli. The small mountain restaurant offers refreshments in summer. The last, very steep 260-metre climb to the upper Seewle is another tough one. The panorama to the end of the valley and Lenk make up for the beads of sweat.
Now the fun begins. A flowy single trail of the finest quality crosses the Laweystuden in the direction of Metsch. A connection on gravel roads, past the Bühlberg and Metschmaad chairlifts, leads to the Bühlberg - Metsch Trail. Here the adventure begins again with a varied trail with flowy passages as well as steps and tight corners. A rooty trail leads below the Stand-Xpress middle station to Kuspo. A tour with a beautiful panorama and lots of cool trails.
DE Knackige Anstiege und beste Singletrails mit fantastischem Panorama. Eine Mountainbike Tour mit allem, was das Biker Herz höher schlagen lässt.
Die Trails muss man sich auf dieser Route verdienen. Zuerst sind 780 Hm auf Asphalt zurück zu legen bis zum Laubbärgli. Im kleinen Bergbeizli gibt es im Sommer eine Stärkung. Die letzten, sehr steilen 260 Hm zum obere Seewle haben es nochmal in sich. Die Aussicht auf den Talabschluss und die Lenk entschädigen für die Schweissperlen.
Nun fängt das Vergnügen an. Ein flowiger Singletrail vom Feinsten durchquert die Laweystuden in Richtung Metsch. Ein Zwischenstück auf Schotterstrassen, vorbei an den Sesselliften Bühlberg und Metschmaad geht’s zum Bühlberg - Metsch Trail. Hier beginnt das Abenteuer wieder mit einem abwechsungsreichen Trail mit flowigen Passagen und aber auch Stufen und engen Kehren. Ein wurzliger Trail führt unterhalb der Mittelstation Stand-Xpress zum Kuspo. Eine Tour mit schönem Panorama und vielen coolen Trails.
