We have already told you the story of Remo Eberle, who came to Sedrun as a bike mechanic and then put the region on the mountain bike map. Today, the Distentis Sedrun destination at the foot of the Oberalp Pass is a small but excellent biking region. The mountain railroads and the Matterhorn-Gotthard Railway (MGB) take you up, but even then there are still enough vertical meters for additional downhill fun.

And here's Remo's money-saving tip to make the most of the region: overnight guests receive a 7-day guest map for 20 francs. This entitles you to use all mountain railroads as well as the Matterhorn-Gotthard Railway from Disentis, over the Oberalp Pass to Andermatt and on to Realp.

But beware: to take your bike with you, you need a bike ticket for the mountain railroads for 10 francs per day. On the train, the usual fares apply, either a ticket at a reduced rate (as for under-16s) or a bike day pass at CHF 14. A few clicks in the SBB app show that even three trips to the Oberalp Pass from Sedrun or Andermatt cost less.

"Many people take advantage of the offer for an extended weekend," reveals Remo Eberle. If you only use the mountain railroads with the guest card, you pay 50 francs for three days. For the MGB, a maximum of 14 francs would be added per day.

And the best for last: In the meantime, the Disentis Sedrun destination has further expanded its range of trails. There is even more to discover than the video shows.
