The descents around the "Steintäli" from the mountain station of the Jochstock Express partly lead almost to the Engstlensee. If you traverse or ascend westwards towards Wendenlücke, freeriders will find little-tracked terrain even days after snowfall.
Notes
- Difficult route finding for variants below Wendenlücke!
- Descent from 2564m above sea level to 1890m above sea level
- It is recommended to hire a mountain guide.
