- Description
-
The flowing trail on Torrent stretches from the Rinderhütte down to the "Torrentalp" middle station. It was designed in such a way that all mountain bikers can master it without hesitation in dry conditions. The route is integrated into the landscape and has an average gradient of 10%. In combination with the local topography, there are waves and hollows, small jumps, as well as various curves and berms - and those who want to also take off! But don't worry, only those who want to. A biking highlight in Leukerbad that you should definitely not miss.
Note on cable car operation: Please note that the Torrent cable cars take a break over lunchtime. In late autumn, the gondolas in Flaschen are no longer in operation. A trip up the mountain is then only possible with the Leukerbad aerial cableway.
