ヴァルスのバイクパーク・トップ20

The Wilhelminaberg staircase leads you upward in a long line, with 508 steps that make the height tangible. Each step takes you further away from the valley and closer to the open landscape at the top of the mountain. During the climb, you'll feel the effort, but you'll be rewarded time and again with moments of rest and views that slowly unfold. An iconic route where movement, silence, and panorama converge.

The bridge provides access to the steps of Wilhelminaberg and marks the beginning of the climb. From here, the path changes: away from the flat, towards the higher elevations, with increasingly better views as you follow the steps to the top.

Nice challenge, climbing the 508 steps of the staircase. It looks impressive from below!

It's a lot of fun.

Tough climb with loose stones, make sure to turn around when you reach the top, the view is beautiful.

That's fun.

This is better to climb than to descend, because it is very technical. The best thing to do with the MTB, although I also came up with a cross country bike with 33 mm tires. I wouldn't be able to go down with the cyclocrosser, I think. Very rocky and uneven, with stones ranging from small to coarse.

At the entrance to the Adlerschlucht, the king of the skies will personally greet you. In the valley behind it, a walk-in free-flight aviary stretches between meter-high rock faces, where you can observe African birds of prey such as hooded vultures and Egyptian vultures in the immediate vicinity. This experience is still a rarity in zoos worldwide. Past stone cliffs and a babbling waterfall, visitors enter the dense owl forest behind a curve. With a bit of luck you can see the otherwise nocturnal birds gliding silently along. In the 800 m² free-flight aviary, snowy owls and gray owls live together in a taiga landscape similar to that found in Scandinavia. In the imposing mountains next door, ibexes and takins go on daring climbing tours. They watch what is happening in the zoo from a lofty height, while the agile marmots at the foot of the mountain complete the mountain panorama.
