Mountainbiking: Aerial Cableway Wiler
The route is designed as a fun descent and is neither a flow trail nor a downhill route. The route choice is suitable for passionate recreational riders and families. For the ambitious rider, the route is an ideal warm-up route in the morning or as a connecting route to the rides from Leukerbad or Jeizinen.
The starting point is Lauchernalp. Via connecting roads, the trail leads to Fieschbiel and Netzbord, where the (trail) fun begins. From here, a singletrail winds to the small village of Weissenried. The route passes above Weissenried and then leads to the hamlet of Ried. Here, a restaurant invites you to stop. Along the Lonza, it goes back to the valley station of the aerial cableway in Wiler. The route is not recommended in the opposite direction.
