E-Bike Chapfensee, from Walenstadt

The route begins with a leisurely roll-in from Walenstadt to Flums. Once in Flums, a longer ascent follows. The path leads past lush meadows and rustling fir trees. After a short break, we continue in the direction of Kohlschlag. Hiking trails and meadows then lead to Lake Chapfensee.

The Chapfensee invites you to linger with its secluded spots. In addition to barbecue areas, you will also find numerous benches. So nothing stands in the way of the perfect lunch break. Well strengthened and relaxed, we now continue with the descent to Mels. On nature trails and tarred roads you can prove your skills once again. Back in the valley, it goes leisurely along the Seez back to Walenstadt.

The Sennäbeizli in Kohlschlag is managed and offers excellent regional dishes.

Start at the train station in Walenstadt. Follow the SchweizMobil Moutainbikeroute 476 Walensee Bike until you reach the bridge that crosses the main road. Turn left immediately after the bridge and drive along the road to Flums train station. Turn right into Bahnhofstrasse. At the Schützengarten restaurant, turn left into Marktstrasse. Follow this road until you reach the larger parking lot. Then you come to the Kirchstrasse. Drive along the main road and along the church in a south-easterly direction, keeping the direction until the ascent starts. Follow the road to the top of Portels. Turn left at the bus stop and then right at the next bend. Now you can follow the SchweizMobil Moutainbikeroute 473 Chapfensee Bike to above the Chapfensee. There you can change from the forest path to the Chapfenseestrasse and drive down to the next fountain. From there you can make a detour to the Chapfensee. After that, you can take the same route back on MTB route 473. This leads you down to Mels. There you can follow the Seez until you reach the Schweizmobil Veloroute 9 Lakes Route. Follow this road back to Walenstadt station.
