    Sehr schöne Tour, sind vom Saastal herkommend in Ackersand eingestiegen. Nach dem schönen Aufstieg nach Zeneggen gehts bereits in den Trail, schön zu fahren, danach der Höhenlinie entlang Richtung Törbel. Nach Törbel wieder der Höhenlinie entlang "zurück", es folgt eine ca. 10-15' Schiebepassage, danach fahrbar und bald ein schöner flowiger Trail der Suone entlang, top! Ab Tschorr gehts nur noch abwärts, erst im Lunggi Trail, ab Eischoll im Lufu Trail, welcher ein roter Enduro ist und doch recht anspruchsvoll. Ab Raron sind wir auf Velowegen retour nach Ackersand, insgesamt ca. 54km und 1800 Hm. Die Tour bietet insgesamt viel Trailanteil, werden wir gerne wieder fahren.

    Sehr schön - downhills sind technisch ok, aber doch sehr steil. Fahrsicherheit sollte vorhanden sein um Spass zu haben

    5* für die Landschaft. Für den Aufstieg durch's Ginals-Tal empfiehlt es sich, die Forststrasse, statt des Skipistenweges zu nehmen. Ab Grosse See bis auf's Augstbordhorn und wieder runter in den Sattel zum Violenhorn ist gut 1:30 Tragen über steile Wege und Blockgelände angesagt. Das wilde Ambiente entschädigt aber vollends dafür. Meines Erachtens startet/beendet man die Tour am besten in Bürchen.

    Der ursprünglich hier publizierte Track folgte unterhalb Eischoll einem einsamen Wanderweg. Dieser Weg wird nicht mehr unterhalten (siehe Sicherheitshinweis). Der Track wurde deshalb auf die Abfahrt nach Visp gelegt. Was mir persönlich ganz gut gefällt. Eine Alternative wäre wohl der offizielle Downhill entlang der Seilbahn Raron - Eischoll, mit Start bei der Bergstation im Dorf Eischoll.

    Very scenic with a view on majestic Bietschhorn. Before arriving back in Unterbäch continue to Bürchen and then down to Visp on a hiking path.
