Iltios

On the short single trail tour to Iltios in Toggenburg, you climb up to the mountain station of the funicular under your own steam and head back down into the valley on an attractive descent.

Description

The tour starts in Unterwasser, from where you ride slightly uphill on the left (southern) side of the valley towards Wildhaus. Follow the asphalt mountain road up to the Oberdorf middle station. Follow a gravel path further uphill until a single trail branches off to Freienalp. This climbs another 60 meters before riding downhill at the edge of the forest to the Iltios mountain station. Follow the initially asphalted mountain road to the Selamatt mountain station (whose cable car also transports bikes) and start immediately behind the cable car on a wonderfully flowing single trail parallel to the cable car. From the first farms, follow the asphalt access road to Alt St. Johann, and parallel to the main road, you will reach the starting point in Unterwasser on an easy singletrail.
