    Schöne Route, tolle Hütte. Aber der Startpunkt ist ungünstig. Hier darf man nicht parken, haben gefragt. Besser ab Lift starten.

    Der Track führt auf einen Weg mit Fahrverbot, jedoch kann man unmittelbar beim Verbotsschild rechts auf einen Pfad ausweichen, der nach wenigen hundert Metern und nach dem Fahrverbot wieder auf den Track führt. Achtung für E-Bike: die angegebene Schiebestrecke ist mehr eine Tragestrecke. Man muss das schwere E-Bike mehrmals über ausgewaschene Felspassagen und Wurzelstöcke hinaufheben. Ist wirklich nur zu empfehlen, wer sein E-Bike im steilen Gelände kurze Stücke tragen kann. Ansonsten extrem schöne Runde.

    Wir haben nur die ersten 4 Etappen gemacht. Unorganisiert ohne Gepäcktransport. Man startet jeden Morgen wieder im Tal, also morgens „nur“ rauf ( Schattenseite ) und mittags wieder das Ganze runter. Sehr einsam, man begegnet groß niemand. Als Skigebiet beginnt mit Bergbahn, wars damit allerdings vorbei, drum waren wir nach 4 Tagen froh auch weil es bei uns sehr heiss war !! Übernachten 1 Etappe beim Fuchsenwirt, na ja. Preis Leistung geht gar nicht

    Besonder schön finde ich die Option, dass man links über Pulverhänge zum Wallerberg aufsteigen kann und nach rechts über Sonnenhänge (Firn!) zum Gerstberg. An richtig schönen Tagen wird man wie wir beides machen :-)

    Eine sehr empfehlenswerte Strecke mit fantastischen Ausblicken.Die Tour ist knackig, jedoch für ein regelmäßig fahrenden Biker kein Problem.Wir haben die ein oder anderen Gipfel noch angehängt und kamen so auf 8600Hm.Super organisiert ist das Pauschalangebot mit Gepäcktransport.Nette Unterkünfte mit toller Verpflegung. E- Biker sollten auf den stellenweise sehr lockeren Weg-Belägen, sicher im Bergabfahren sein! Die Gegen ist jedenfalls ein Augenschmaus.
