Riding the Stunning Welschtobel Valley | Mountain Biking in the Swiss Alps

I was mountain biking the Welschtobel, one of my favorite trails. The Welchtobel is a remote, wild and stunningly beautiful mountain valley in the Swiss alps. The ride has to be hard earned however since reaching the starting point (The mountain pass “Furcletta”) requires considerable effort.

I had the privilege to ride this amazing trail in the evening sun, and really enjoyed the special atmosphere the light created.

As far as mountain biking goes, the trail is mostly covered in loose gravel and stones, making for a slippery ride
