Älggi

The Älggi-Alp is considered the geographical center of Switzerland and is nestled in the Kleine Melchtal valley. The tour captivates with its wild and rugged mountain scenery.


Description

The starting point for the ascent to the Älggi-Alp is the village of Sachseln. The little road leads from Edisried into the Kleine Melchtal. Where the path descends again, you continue uphill on an alpine road and finally reach the Älggi Alp. The highest point has not yet been reached, with a further 200 meters of ascent to the Seefeldalp. A trail and then a small road lead down to Melchtalalp and finally up to Chrummelbachalp. From here there is a short pushing section until the long descent to Lake Lungern begins at Hüttstett. The trail is rough and unkempt in places, so less experienced bikers should take the mountain road. Finally you reach Mülibach, get to Kaiserstuhl and take the hiking trail to Giswil. The return journey to Sachseln is along the main road.

Two days ago I did the Älggi Alp Tour in the opposite direction and it was also great. Thanks to the single trail map, I could also see what the red and black trails were and was able to adapt to them. I recorded the tour on video for indoor cycling, but it's also good for planning a tour in this area and can therefore be found on YouTube.
