ミュンスター・ゲスキネンのおすすめライド

Invites you to swim

The last fountain before the Grimsel!

Well paved at least from Oberwald to Obergesteln. It allows you to bypass the tunnel safely (which is not forbidden to bikes AFAIK, but I got honked once by a Carpostal).

It was closed now, but there are restrooms nearby that will do the trick! No need to pay to use the restrooms at the Grimsel restaurant.

One of the most beautiful spots in Switzerland! No photo does it justice...

You've conquered the Nufenen Pass (Passo della Novena) by the road sign at an altitude of 2,477 meters. The pass also marks the cantonal border between Valais and Ticino. The pass is one of the youngest mountain passes in Switzerland, having only been built in 1964 and opened five years later. As the highest pass located entirely within Switzerland, it offers a special attraction for road cyclists. However, the approach from both sides is challenging, steep and often windy. Both routes involve over 1,000 meters of elevation gain. Since it's located far from any major towns, chances are your legs will already be a bit tired by the time the climbs begin.

Since the tunnel on the Grimsel Pass road is only accessible by bike downhill, you'll have to take the old pass road. However, it's not a must, as the path, part of which is cobblestone, is much more beautiful and spectacular anyway.

A small parking lot at Geschinensee offers a great starting point for inline skating. Afterwards, you can cool off in the lake.
