Deep in the back of Isenthal, it becomes particularly quiet and original. Surrounded by steep mountain slopes, green alpine pastures, and an impressive backdrop, the end of the valley is a real highlight of the MTB tour – it is worth stopping here for a moment to enjoy the tranquility.

Great spot right on the Urnersee with an impressive mountain backdrop all around. The bathing beach in Isleten is perfect for a break or a cool-down during your MTB tour – a really nice stopover, especially on warm days.

The valley station in St. Jakob is the starting point of the cable car up to Gitschenen. Nestled in the impressive mountain world of the Isental valley, it is a beautiful stopover on the MTB tour – at the latest here you realize how original and quiet the valley is.

A beautiful waterfall right on the route to Isenthal. The scenery with the steep rock faces all around is particularly impressive. It's already clearly visible from the road and definitely worth a short stop with the MTB.

The Old Town Hall in Gersau was built in 1745. It impresses with its high, artfully painted facade.
