Description
This varied bike tour is surrounded by the imposing mountains of Central Switzerland. It leads into the famous Muota valley and on to Stoos through marvellous forest sections. Then along lush meadows and via Oberschönenbuch with beautiful viewpoints back to the starting point.

 

The route starts at the valley station of the Schwyz-Stoos funicular railway and heads towards Muotathal. The route continues through sections of forest up to Alp Wannen. A short stop can be made at the Tröligen alpine cheese dairy. The route then continues towards the mountain village of Stoos.

Directions

This richly varied tour starts at the lower terminus of the Schwyz/Schlattli-Stoos funicular railway. Riding into the Muota valley, you cross the river, after which you start an ascent that is long but not too steep. The Wissenwand road leads up to Alp Wannen through glorious tracts of woodland and past lush meadows.

The next section, consisting of a descent on unpaved lanes, features ever-changing views which merit stopping for now and then.

If you are not intending to end the tour at Stoos, you should begin at the Morschach-Stoos aerial cableway with the descent to the Nägelisgärtli restaurant, then return to Schlattli via Oberschönenbuch. This last section also offers numerous fine vantage points.
