Schächental Bike

Starting point: Altdorf, Bahnhof

The tour along the Höhenweg Schächental is the classic among bike paths. The dreamy panoramic ride promises optimal infrastructure and challenging climbs and descents in a charming landscape. Passing by Bürglen, the hometown of William Tell, you will continue with a gentle ascent on the Klausenpassstraße through the elongated Schächental. The impressively carved Klausenstraße along the «Lini» presents itself majestically. At over 400 meters deep, one can see the hamlet of Aesch with its waterfall spraying over 90 meters high. On the natural road over the Schächentaler Höhenweg, you will be inspired by an impressive mountain panorama and beautiful alpine settlements. Don't forget to take a piece of Urner alpine cheese from one of the many alpine huts along the way. The next imposing climb and descent with a grand view over the Schächen and Reuss valleys will delight you. Sharp, but short climbs provide variety to your heart rate on this section – and the mountain guesthouses along the route offer a wide range of options for resting. After the idyllic valley basin near Steinselez, a final ascent to Fleschseeli awaits you before you tackle the last treat of this attractive tour, descending through Eggberge and the Altdorfer Bannwald.
