Anyone wanting to reach the «Torloch» – the highest point at 1780 meters in the Toggenburg bike network – must really push themselves. This detour is not for nothing marked as a «variant». The path to this small high alpine area is extremely steep and demands a full physical effort from non-motorized mountain bikers. The rest of the tour, with just over 1000 meters of elevation gain, is quite relaxed and offers hardly any technical riding difficulties. The wide alpine landscape as well as the views of the northern side of the Churfirsten and the Säntis massif provide scenic impressions unique in the region.
The first almost 500 meters of elevation on the tour up to the Berghotel Sellamatt (e-bike charging option) are done efficiently on asphalt, then follows a wide, well-gravelled alpine road. Slightly steeper sections alternate here with flat stretches and short descents, making the route very appealing and varied. Along the way, the alpine inn Wildmannli (e-bike charging option) invites you to take a break. The return route is identical to the ascent route.
E-bike charging options:
Berghotel Sellamatt
Alpine inn Wildmannli
