we rode the trail today. according to the description, we had high expectations but were rather disappointed. i think the comments reflect the reality. it is a strenuous tour, which takes a whole day including breaks. we started from gurnigel wasserscheide and at the end of the tour we had ridden about 1090m of which we estimated only 300m. the rest had to be carried or pushed. there were also many cattle fences which unfortunately led to frequent interruptions. the descents, however, were cool to ride and varied.

On the ascent, you can turn left at Tschingel / Pt. 1399 onto a beautiful alpine path under the Tschingelflue to Wasserscheidi. This saves the asphalt and Gurnigelstrasse on a more beautiful and shorter route.

The mountain trail from the Leiterepass to Obere Walalp may have been world class in the past, but I wouldn't describe it as such in its current state. There are far too many unrideable sections and numerous fences that force you off your bike again and again, so that there is no real flow.

As the previous comments describe variants from Obere Walalp, I know them all:
- Descent right via Untere Walalp / Buschetal all alpine road, no singletrails (relaxing but boring)
- Bachegg left (nothing to the right) via Obere Bachalp to the lower Bachalp very nice trail, then very steep alpine road. Possible variant via hiking trail (Obere Bachalp straight ahead), but I don't know it.
- the (in my opinion most beautiful) variant has not yet been mentioned: short pushing passage from Obere Walalp to Walalpgrat and then down over the Chrümmelwägen. Up to Alp Chrümmelwäge a great trail (more red than black), further directly over a very steep trail or left with a short section of alpine road to a cool trail along the stream

Yesterday I didn't take the stairway up to the Stockhorn, but went directly to the Oberstockenensee via the Bättelwägli described above. First a good third flowy trail, then briefly very steep downhill with super tight hairpins, then most of it to carry.

The trail to the west around the Oberstockenensee is then very nice, and I think the small detour is also worthwhile coming from the Sockhorn, as there are several fences south of the lake.

At Alp Vorderstockenen, be sure to turn left onto the hiking trail, and not straight ahead on the asphalt alpine road as shown on the Map / GPX. The hiking trail goes approx. 1km in the direction of Chrindi, then branches off at an acute angle 1km back onto the tour / alpine road. This results in approx. 2km of super flowing trail instead of 500m of asphalt.

The 'fun' trail is great, but also quite technically demanding in places. Concentration, upper body and braking fingers are once again fully challenged. Despite a good 2000 positive altitude meters, 2 longer carrying passages and 1 longer pushing passage, there should still be a few reserves here.

If you are prepared to put in a little effort, this is a great tour where you will feel your whole body the next day.

From Oberi Walalp turn right down the Alpweg and Buuschetal to Därstetten. After the partly steep trail, the part via the alpine path is a recovery

I have also done this tour. But I turned right before the Stockhorn (Baachegg) and trailed down a cool trail into the Stockental.

We took the Poschi up to the mountain restaurant on the Gurnigel. Our impression is largely in line with the tour description, although the pushing/carrying sections are trivialized in the description. On the ascent to the Leiterepass we pushed for about 40 minutes, on the Supertrail to the Obere Walalp there are some stuttery climbs and blocked sections, here too we pushed for an estimated 20 minutes in total. On the Obere Walalp we chose the Bättelwägli mentioned by Gremlin instead of the Stockhorn ascent; the vast majority of this bypass has to be pushed (down and up) (approx. 30 min) because it is completely blocked or very steep - I was definitely "begging" to finally get to the top and now I'm not sure whether this is really the better option than the Stockhorn ascent. From Oberstockensee to the so-called mountain prize, we had to push for around 20 minutes one last time.
Conclusion: If you don't have a problem with "bike mountain hiking", you can expect a great tour in unique surroundings with breathtaking panoramic views!
(P.S. speaking of pushing: We're not exactly the youngest anymore, but even the much-cited "normal biker" will often have to get off their bike....)

We started the tour just outside Wimmis. Initially via the main road to Blumenstein and from there via the pleasantly ascending alpine road to Gurnigel. The running section to the Leiterepass is easily manageable at 20-30 minutes. From there, the long singletrail rides along the mountain to the foot of the Stockhorn. The trail is peppered with obstacles, especially after the Leiterepass, which force you to descend briefly, but the trail becomes increasingly flowy. It would probably be ideal to do the tour in fall or spring, as we encountered around 30 cattle fences on the tour, some of them with adventurous crossings. The ascent to the Stockhorn is brutal. You can't push, only carry. At a brisk pace, carry for at least 1 hour. From the Stockhorn there is a well-maintained path to the Oberstockenalp, but the path is still tricky because it is riddled with tree trunks as a gully.
From Oberstocksee there is another short running section of 15 - 20 minutes and then a cool descent on single trails to Erlenbach. There is everything from flowing forest floor trails to rocky passages.
All in all, a beautiful tour with a steep carrying passage, I can only recommend this tour to anyone who loves adventure.
If I tackle the tour again, I will bypass the Stockhorn from Oberi Walalp via the Bättelwägli. This combines the great singletrail from the Leiterepass and the beautiful descent to Erlenbach.
