Göscheneralp

The Göscheneralp is an unnoticed gem in the canton of Uri. In the valley, you are surrounded by a world of glaciers, while the valley floor below offers perfect conditions for mountain bike tours.

Description

From Göschenen, you roll down the little road into the Göschenertal valley and climb along it past Gwüest up to the dam wall of the Göscheneralpsee lake. 700 meters of sweat have been overcome, which you can now turn into 700 meters of fun on the descent. To do this, follow the signposted mountain bike route 408 (Göscheneralp Bike) and always stay on the right-hand side of the Göschenerreuss. The descent is a mix of single trails and cart tracks and offers plenty of downhill fun even for less experienced mountain bikers.

Tip: Leave your bike at the dam wall and walk to the Dammhütte or Bergseehütte hut.

It was a very leisurely tour and I really enjoyed the beautiful landscape. I recorded the tour on video and uploaded it to YouTube so that I can enjoy it again on my home trainer if the weather is bad. The link to this video is: https://youtu.be/uSQGnM5sQ0U

Ideal tour for beginners. Everything is well marked and therefore easy to find. The descent is also easy to master for less experienced riders.
