Mountain biking

This technically easy circular tour takes you over the Betelberg, Lenk's local mountain. Tranquil side valleys during the ascent and descent, pleasant terrain, and fantastic views from the Leiterli mountain hut, the highest point of the tour, make this a truly enjoyable biking experience.

You'll hop on your bike at Lenk train station and begin the uphill section of the tour immediately after leaving the village center. With or without e-assistance, you'll ride through the valley formed by the Wallbach stream, through forests, and past numerous alpine farms. A final steep section takes you above the tree line and to the Leiterli mountain hut at almost 2,000 meters. With a magnificent panorama, you can refuel here for the winding descent on the alpine road. This road then also leads you to the Iffigfall, one of the region's most beautiful waterfalls. With views of the valley, you'll finally cycle back to the beautiful village center of Lenk.

At Betelberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

On Lenker's local mountain, the Betelberg, the easy-to-ride alpine roads allow you to let your gaze wander away from your front wheel and down into the valley below. Even on the more technically challenging surfaces, the ride is winding, fast, and fun.
