Bike tours on Flumserberg
The SwitzerlandMobility trail network is dedicated to non-motorised traffic – and provides a wide range of options for active guests. They also include bike routes, with three of these signposted SwitzerlandMobility routes leading through the beautiful Flumserberg region.
If you take the Flumserberg Panorama Bike trail no. 470, you will be rewarded with a stunning natural scenery. The Seebenalp plateau with three idyllic mountain lakes is certainly one of the highlights along the route. And a stop at the traditional Hotel/Restaurant Seebenalp right by the lake is well worthwhile, too. At the highest point of the tour, on Maschgenkamm ridge, you can enjoy magnificent scenic views of Lake Walensee, as well as the Churfirsten range and the Spitzmeilen area. Panoramarestaurant Maschgenkamm is the perfect stop for refreshments on this section of the route.
