Hochalm
Description
Start at the Glashütte inn not far from the Achenpass and ride in a westerly direction until you reach a forest road. The route now climbs quite steeply up to a junction. Continue right here until the forest road ends and turns into a path that is still easy to ride on. In the alpine pasture area, turn right to the Hochalm. Here you have to shoulder your bike for around 20 minutes to get to the ridge of the Hochalm.
The descent follows the same route back down. Very steep and rooty, not all passages are rideable (riding technique S4). Once back down at the alpine pasture, there are two options: the route down to the Achenpass as indicated here or down towards the Sylvenstein reservoir. However, the latter is sensitive due to many erosion-damaged sections. The variant to the Achenpass is more responsible. Technically not quite as demanding, it is partly flowy down to the Achenpass. At the end, you roll comfortably back to the Glashütte.
Note: There are a lot of hikers on the route at weekends.

Background to Ride MTB
Ride MTB is dedicated to mountain biking. With the maps Ride Trail Maps and Trail Books and the print magazine Ride, it has played a formative role in alpine mountain biking for many years and has shaped it like few other organizations.
In addition to the publishing business, the company is now also active in product management and operating entire mountain bike projects. These include the tourism project Ride Travel and the development of modern and authentic mountain bike offers such as the Bahnentour in Davos Klosters, Engadin St. Moritz, Lenzerheide or Aletsch, as well as the creation of multi-day tours such as the Postauto-Tour or the Hüttentour.
Ride MTB GmbH was founded in 2001 (formerly Swiss Sports Publishing GmbH) and has been owned and managed by Thomas Giger since then.
