After around 10km, there will be a brief downhill trail, after which we will alternate between cycling uphill and downhill. We will reach the highest point of the tour at around 2,250m, which is followed by a long, pleasant descent – first via a path, then via winding stretches – to Ulrichen. There, we will cross the train tracks and take a leisurely ride alongside the Rhône back to Oberwald.
