    Moderate from Einsiedeln, but steep and rather demanding from Vorderthal. But the panorama makes up for the effort.

    The Satteleggstrasse is not the fastest, but the most exciting connection between the two Swiss lakes, Lake Zurich and Lake Sihl. In the Middle Ages, people used this passage as a pilgrimage route to Einsiedeln Abbey. Today's street dates from the Second World War and was used exclusively by the military at the time. Since the Sattelegg also offers a small ski area, the road can be used all year round. Right next to the top of the pass is the Madonna and Brother Clause Chapel, which was inaugurated in 1976 and which is now part of the still existing pilgrimage route. From May to October, services are held in it on the second and last Sunday of the month.

      Easy to ride from Lake Sihl, on the east side there is a fast descent (or long uphill ride...).
