Schibengütsch

The Schrattenfluh is the impressive rock monument near Sörenberg. The bike route leads to the foot of the Schibengütsch summit and then follows the mighty rock face.

Description

For the first part of the tour, follow the signposted mountain bike route (Route 2) up to Blattenegg. This is easy to do and rides along asphalted mountain roads for almost the entire 450 meters in altitude. The descent towards Salwidli is a scenic treat, riding through open forest and meadow terrain, with the mighty rock monument of the Schrattenflue always visible opposite. From Salwidli, the route descends again until the alpine road on the left at Schneeberg farm rides up to Chlus. The last section is on a single trail, where you have to push your bike for about 150 meters. Now you are in the middle of the karst landscape of the Schrattenfluh, one of the largest karst fields in Switzerland. The descent from the Chlus leads along a single trail, which is a little challenging at first but becomes much smoother further down. The trail ends at the Schlund farm, where there is another 100 meters of ascent to the Silwänge. We recommend taking a look up to the Schrattenfluh directly above. The next trail follows to the Bodehütte, then on to Gummealp and Schlüechtli. From here, the route leads downhill via a forest road to Sudelhöchi and on the road back to Sörenberg.

Alternative: Instead of climbing via Blattenegg to Salwidli, ascend directly via Südelhöchi.

Note: There is a general riding ban on the Silwänge - Bodehütte - Undergumme - Schlüechtli route. Riding the route is at the discretion and responsibility of each individual.

There must have been a mistake. This tour is only on trails from the Silwängenalp to the Bodenhütte (3). Otherwise everything is easy. From Chlus down, the path has been renovated (accessible by car).

Well, nothing technically difficult and only worth one point. The descent from Chlus is a wide cirque trail with coarse rock without any particular difficulties. However, the tour is certainly recommendable from a scenic point of view.
