Tatz-Trail
Description
The ascent is quickly explained: from Gampel, the route leads uphill on the road to Hohtenn, then on to Tatz and finally to Spilbielalpji. Most of the route is on asphalt - the start via the main road is somewhat uncomfortable. An alternative would be to take the Postbus up to Hohtenn.
From Spilbielalpji, the downhill fun begins: a flowy, playful trail leads down to Tatz - from here it gets a little rougher. The terrain is dry, steep and sometimes technically demanding. The trail meanders over loose stones and small steps further down into the valley. After crossing the railroad line, the route winds down to Niedergesteln in a veritable orgy of hairpin bends - a descent that is both technically and scenically impressive. To roll out, follow a quiet side road back to Gampel.
Note: Depending on the snow conditions, the tour can be ridden very early in the year due to its southern exposure.
Tip: Extend the BLS Südrampe with this loop. In other words: Take the train to Hohtenn, then take the Tatz trail to the south ramp.

We rode this tour in combination with the BLS Südrampe. The downside of this combination is that you don’t start the Südrampe until relatively late, so you’ll find quite a few hikers there. Otherwise, the Tatz Trail is a nice addition to the region.
A nice, short ride. Don't underestimate the descent. There are a few exposed sections, and the trail has some tricky parts, especially in the lower section. But it's a lot of fun.
Cool tour. Basically not very difficult but there are quite a few loose stones, which is good for a 4/6 in terms of riding technique. The ascent can be reduced via BLS (start from Hohtenn)
