    Great trail. The ride up is all on roads, if you have an e-mtb then there are multiple good options for riding up on more interesting trails and paths. At the top enjoy a beautiful view of Pilatus all the way down to the lake. The start of the ride down was quite tough and we had to walk some parts but it quickly got better and we really enjoyed the ride down. Lots of switchbacks and technical riding over big stones. After 1000m descent you arrive at an asphalt road. The trail continues to the left but be warned that you soon get to a section where you have to walk down and then up next to a cliff. Probably for a couple of hundred meters. After that there is again a good trail but not sure if it’s worth it given the walking. If you’re tired when you get to the road, instead turn right and take the easy route back to Alpnach.

    Es ist nicht mehr möglich, im Melchtal von der Schildstrasse herunter zu fahren. Alle Höfe haben ein explizites Velo und Bikefahrverbot. Sehr schade

    Did the course in reverse. A better alternative to the route going straight up Pilatus (less crowded, less rocky & smooth trail). Very hot day. It took me 3 hours.

    Eine wirklich sehr schöne Rundtour mit einem 465HM 9% Climb. Malerische Optik und unterwegs gibt's viele Cafes und Restaurants. Einzig der Waldweg mit groben Steinen und zig Stufen hat bei der Tour gestört (hat auch die SPD Schuhplatten zerstört).

    Die Axenstrasse ab Brunnen ist für Velos gesperrt. Wer sich den Busshuttle und das spätere Tragen sparen möchte nimmt die Autofähre von Gersau nach Beckenried.
