Fantastic trail for trail running! The trail is packed dirt with some pavement in some areas. Start at Neue Forch to run (slightly) downhill. There is a public bathroom at the tram station.
I would recommend this trail to anyone who wants to go to a dog friendly trail it is amazing on a sunny day especially for views and nature walks it is quite long but fun at the same time!!!
Perfect in hot days
For hiking the tour is nice. But for mountain biking the route choice is not ideal. The first 200 hm from Bachscheidi (Tössscheidi) are steep and you have to fight with big, round pebbles. Most of us will push there. From the Strahleggstrasse to Tierhag the path from behind the Sennhütte on foot is nice, but sometimes too heavy with the bike and most of us prefer to take the main road to the Tierhag from a corner further up the Strahleggstrasse. The climb is still crisp enough. The most idiotic thing is to take the West Ridge from Tierhag on the Schnebelhorn. You can only partially push that and you have to carry the bike a lot. Here is the up to the first 20m about horizontal trail from Tierhag direction Schindelberghöhi beautiful drive. Shortly before the Schindelberghöhi you reach the south ridge of the Schnebelhorn and it is actually about 50% easy to drive and the rest can be pushed - no need to carry. From Schnebelhorn summit, the tour is beautiful for those who master technical S2.
A wonderful trail. I started the loop from the north and this is a better option. first moderate path uphill, through wonderful alpine meadows and a bit of forest. very fast wonderful views that get better. From the top also wonderful, panoramic view. the second part of the trail goes downwards through more 'civilised' road, with guesthouses and shelters. nevertheless very enjoyable walk along the stream with a waterfall.
The trail has wonderful, scenic views. I would rate it as easy. The huge drawback during the nice weather is crowd of people. Since the trail is easy (little children, old people doing great, no problems with baby carriage etc.) it is hard to find quite place.
