Description: This route from Lauchernalp to Wiler is suitable for all mountain bikers, from beginner to expert. A Singletrail winds down to the height of Weissenried, and then continues down to Ried. You finally reach Wiler, along the Lonza River. Riders enjoy fine views of the Breithorn, one of the dramatic peaks of the Lötschental.
Directions: Lauchernalp is located on the south-facing slopes of the Lötschental and offers glorious views of the mountains that frame the valley. This is the starting point for the Breithorn Trail, accessible by cable car. From here, the route leads eastwards to the village of Fischbiel before a steady climb of about one kilometer to Netzbord: the start of the descent. The route winds down to the little village of Weissenried, further up the Lötschental, where you enjoy magnificent views of the Breithorn and the whole valley. Take time to visit the chapel dedicated to St George, built in 1787. Then climb back on your bike to continue along the route towards the village of Ried, before following the river Lonza as far as the base station of the cable car in Wiler.
