Main access road up the Wank Mountain ending at Esterbergalm (serves drinks and snacks part of the year). The route is mostly a forest road but has some paved parts and contains some extremely steep sections. There is no forest road leading to the top of the mountain from the Esterbergalm. The typical way to the summit is to push the bike up the old ski slope.

Access Info

Parking lot of the Wank gondola.
