Trail tip for the weekend: Napf-Cross from Wolhusen to Burgdorf

The weekend should bring good weather almost all over Switzerland, so you're spoiled for choice. To make the route search a little easier, we recommend the Napf-Cross from Wolhusen to Burgdorf. The route offers some first-class single trails and great views.

As the highest point between Entlebuch and Emmental, the Napf is a must-visit destination for school trips. The route by bike is far more pleasant than on foot, and it's not just worth it for the breathtaking panoramas: The region also has plenty of trails to offer. This is most impressively demonstrated on the Napf crossing from Wolhusen to Burgdorf. On a clear day, the effort of the ascent is rewarded with a fantastic view of the main Alpine ridge with its freshly powdered glacier peaks.

The tour rides upstream along the Kleine Emme, through the Fontanne-Tobel and along the official mountain bike route (Route 77) to Stächelegg. After the final ascent to Napf, a mix of first-class single trails and sometimes steep alpine roads awaits on the ridge towards Ahorn and along the ridge path to Wasen in Emmental. The long descent from Napf into the Emmental is one of the best routes for miles around.To get there by train, the SBB offers good connections. Wolhusen can be reached from the major cities in just under 30 to a good 90 minutes at best
