Palfries Plateau

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very scenic plateau at the foot of the Alvier chain.
Technically very easy, all on gravel roads. Only at the Rietälpli does a very beautiful meadow trail (S1) start down to Alp Castilu.

View of the Alvier Range

Highlight • Viewpoint

You drive about four to five kilometers along this imposing mountain range. And you can always see the deep-lying Walensee. Not to beat.

Stralrüfi mountain restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

Brilliant view and all-round view up there! At the Berghaus / Gasthaus Palfries there is an optimal stop at the highest point of the tour.

It's hard to stop here. The bike rolls downhill so nicely. But it's worth it to get in the brakes at Alp Gastilun. The trees are felled, the stumps are still standing, the view is not restricted by anything.

Kurhaus Sennis

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Sennis spa is located in the middle of beautiful nature. A cute little lake is right next door.
The food is also delicious 🤤

Today my husband wanted to do a simple little ride on his new bike, to really break it in. So I accompanied him 😉😅

For a dream tour 🤩, you don't need a lot of single trails; stunning scenery and amazing experiences are more than enough.

From km 31.5 it goes down a stream bed quite rough. Not rideable everywhere. Approx. 1.2 km. Otherwise good tour 👍✌🏻💪🏼🤣

Today's tour started in Azmoos and climbed up to the Palfries with 1200 meters of altitude in one go. At the top we rode along a beautiful plateau down to the Sennis spa house.
