E-Bike Trophy - destination Berghotel Schönhalden

This round trip is perfect for e-bikers. The Flumser Kleinberg attracts visitors with its low-traffic roads, beautiful mountain pastures and a magnificent panorama. Thanks to the e-bike charging station at the Berghotel Schönhalden, the battery can also be used correctly for the considerable number of meters of altitude. The descent is varied, both in terms of the environment and the surface. And yet the route is always easy to navigate. The first highlight is the Berghotel Schönhalden with good food and a wonderful view. The second highlight is the nature reserve with the beautifully embedded Chapfensee lake and various intact fens.

Take part in the E-Bike Pickling Trophy: Collect stamps at 7 mountain pubs and receive a culinary greeting at the end of the season.

Ideally, you start the journey to the Berghotel Schönhalden at the train station in Flums, where the round trip ends again. Via Bahnhofstrasse and Marktstrasse you reach the Bergstrasse, which you cross at the height of the St. Laurentius Church. Here you now follow the Feldstrasse, which continues after a few hundred meters as Clevelaustrasse. From here you are on the Switzerland Mobil Route 474 Chapfensee-Bike, but in the opposite direction. Follow the route of this route, passing through various courtyards and the chapel of Maria Lourdes. After a good 10 kilometres and around 770 metres in altitude, you will reach the former Sässeliwiese restaurant. Here you leave the Chapfensee-Bike route and instead follow the wider road uphill. From here it goes on the last part of the ascent, on which 300 meters of altitude are covered over 4 kilometers. The private road, which soon becomes a gravel road, may be used by bikers.

For the time being, the downhill route leads back to Sässeliwiese and then follows the Switzerland Mobil Route 474 Chapfensee-Bike (in the opposite direction). Up to «Gafröa» you are on a gravel road, which is more or less flat. From Gafröa, the path now leads past 2 streams to Plons. Downhill it now goes in the direction of "Gigerberge" point 1019. A short counter-ascent of about 50 meters in altitude now leads to the Chapfensee nature reserve. The kiosk invites you to a further refreshment before you circle the nature reserve on gravel roads and finally drive downhill towards Mels at the eastern end of the lake. Arriving in Mels, the route leads along the partly beautifully renatured Seez back to the starting point in Flums.
