Description: This tour is good for intermediate to advanced level bikers who like a mix of singletrail, paved and unpaved roads. The scenery along the tour is quite impressive with views at different points along the tour over the lakes of Zug, Aegeri and Zurich and some beautiful Alpine and Pre-alpine peaks. The single trail descent from Rappenflue to Naas is the most technical part of the tour (S2). The tour is rated in general as S1 difficulty level as the S2 level can be avoided if neccesary.
There are also a series of 5 difficult switchbacks on the Singletrail from Bethlehem to Schönbrunn. The vast majority of bikers will have to walk these.
Highest point: 1,197 m
Endpoint: Zug Train Station
Height profile: © outdooractive.com
Equipment: The majority of the tour is suitable for any mountain bike. The descent to Naas is best suited to a slacker "All Mountain" or "Enduro" bike.
Safety instructions: The descent from Rappenflue to Naas is only suitable for advanced riders. Less confident riders can avoid this by riding along the lake shore from Wilbrunnen to Naas. The tour is rated as S1 difficulty level, however this part of the tour is S2.
Tips: This is a very nice tour to do on a clear Autumn or Spring day when the air is clear and the view of the surrounding mountains very impressive.
Additional information: Please respect the trail and don't ride with a locked back wheel or take shortcuts.
