One of the really excellent trails in the region. Full of varied terrain through meadows at the beginning, then forest with numerous switchbacks, a few technical spots, and a short exposed section towards the end. Fairly difficult, but nothing extreme. A few hikers at times.

Access Info

Rde the forest road up from the Oswaldhütte to the end. The very beginning of the trail over alpine meadows is a bit difficult to follow at first. When the trail veers left into the woods it becomes very distinct and the real fun begins.

This trail is unsanctioned.

        Conditions are extremely dry right now so the upper part was ok to ride. Otherwise you could see the mudpits that must be here all year long. Anyway, as others have mentioned, after that first part is over, get ready for (in my opinion) a very beautiful trail, one of the nicest in the region

        If you are cow and you enjoy deep moist meadows (after rain or snow melt), you will love the first 10/15 mins till the forest. But then a prime trail with nice flow and endless turns in beauty scenery are coming, ending at the bottom of The Valley!

        Still one of my favourite trails. Sry I like it soft ! Rode it two weeks ago obviously the snowfalls in September cracked down some trails. Would be nice if the Rangers take their chainsaws to cut down some fallen trees…. Mainly in the first 1/3 of the trail. Rest is in perfect condition

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
