Sattelpass

The Sattel Pass lies on the border between Obwalden and Lucerne, and the tour features a long descent from the Glaubenbielen Pass to Giswil.


Description

The first part of the route is leisurely. You roll along the northern side of Lake Sarnen on a small road to Grossteil, where the ascent to the Sattel Pass begins. Just over 1000 meters in altitude have to be overcome, initially up to Alp Hohnegg on an asphalt road. On the Sattelpass, the altitude has been reached, but there is now an up and down to the Glaubenbielenpass. The long descent awaits! Up to Mörlialp, this must be covered on the road, followed by a mix of trails, alpine paths and mountain roads to Kleinteil. You reach Giswil on a road, and the return trip to Sarnen also rides along the main road.

In terms of fitness, the tour is rated too low at 2, as the road is extremely exposed to the sun, especially on a warm day.
In terms of riding technique, on the other hand, a 3 is too high, as you have to ride down mostly on forest roads or even tarred roads. If you like trails, don't do this tour. If you like riding tours, this is the right tour for you, as you will be rewarded with a wonderful panorama. There is also a short pushing section (approx. 500 m).
