Hasliberg-Rundtour
Description
In Meiringen, you take the gondola lift for the first section to Reuti. You could actually change directly to the Planplatten gondola lift in Reuti, but a bit of sporting performance is allowed. You quickly gain altitude on a small road and reach Gummenalp. This is where the slightly ascending single trail to Underen Stafel, the middle station of the gondola lift, begins. Families can often be found on this section. Now follows another section on an alpine path up to Hääggenalp. A view of the Jungfrau region opposite is the order of the day! On a well-built single trail, the last few meters of altitude are overcome before a short descent takes you to Käserstatt. The rest of the route is great downhill fun. A single trail takes you downhill to Wasserwendi, with the odd hairpin bend to master in the upper section. Forest and country roads take you via Hohflüh to Alp Schwand, from where the remaining 250 meters in altitude back to Meiringen can be tackled on an old and stony path.
Alternative: Ascent to Mägisalp on the little road via Wasserwendi or with the gondola lift
Tip: Fit mountain bikers ride from Hääggen for a detour to the uniquely located Alpentower on the Planplatten.

It is incomprehensible to me that a tour like this is still available on the portal, or that it remains unchanged. Only now, when I read the comments, do I realize that for five! years that the tour runs along a children's family trail. This is extremely annoying and it's no wonder that it can lead to negative attitudes towards mountain bikers ...
The tour has a few nice passages, especially in the lower part, but many meters in altitude are destroyed on an asphalt road. I do not recommend taking the tour 1-to-1.
I also think Hasliberg is a great MTB area. I have captured some impressions of this landscape in a new autumn video and uploaded it to YouTube: https://youtu.be/R8LakL5qr80
Very nice tour with flowing trails. The last section is quite technical at times, but you can also push ;-)
We bypassed the Muggestutz (thanks to Reinhold for the description; it is also signposted as such). On the descent, don't follow the bike signs, but the ride route, otherwise you'll miss some very cool trails.
From Käserstatt I rode on up to Gibel and back down to Lungern. This is also a beautiful trail. I recorded the tour on video and you can watch it on youtube, the link is: https://youtu.be/B8wX4_Wqhow
The video can also be used as virtual reality for home fitness, which makes biking on the home bike or treadmill even more interesting.
A very nice tour!
However, I find it incomprehensible how RIDE, as a renowned bike magazine, repeatedly describes and promotes tours that include routes with an explicit ban on bikes (in this case the Muggestutz near the Mägisalp, which is used by many families with small children).
Many bikers are encouraged by RIDE's route guidance to disregard the bike ban, especially as there is no alternative route at this point.
This damages the image of mountain bikers and that can't be what Thomas Giger and his crew want!
I can only agree with Pierre. A great tour, IF you take the alternative route with the ascent via Wasserwendi. On the route described, you suddenly end up in the middle of the most frequented section of the Zwergenweg before Mägisalp without an alternative, and as a mountain biker you really have no place there unless you are about 10cm tall and are happy to bend around in the undergrowth next to the path to the delight of the children. As we are a bit taller, we spent most of the time waiting at the side of the path; the only safe way to cross families with small children. So the whole thing went off without a hitch, but I would be very grateful not to be led onto such paths whenever possible.
You can easily avoid the dwarf trail by not riding towards Gummenalp after the valley station of the Spycher Bügellift, but about 30 meters downhill on the road towards Bidmi, about 200m. Then ride up the asphalted alpine road to Mägisalp, where you can continue on the ride.ch tour...
During the summer operation of the Meiringen Hasliberg mountain railroads, you can use the 8-seater gondola to Mägisalp by bike :-)
