- Description
-
Though not really technically difficult, you need to be fit for this demanding ride. It is amply rewarded by wonderful distant views.
After a flat section along Lake Lucerne, the ascent to the Gätterli Pass begins at Gersau. The ride leads to Timpelweid via Alp Egg and the Gottertli. Just before the Urmiberg is a short section where you need to dismount. This is followed by a rapid descent down to the valley and along the Muota back to where you started.
