Those who can safely master the red level are ready for the trails Häxutrail (Route 157) and Nesselloop (Route 158)!

Please respect the Mountain Bike Code.

Trails

Grüne Kräuter - Length: 170 m
The easiest trail in Häxuland. Over easy flat and undulating meadow passages you can warm up and familiarise yourself with the mountain bike. Here you can collect the first ingredients for your mountain bike skills. The next challenges in Häxuland are already waiting!
Im Tal der Steine - Länge: 80 m
Vero was not very careful when practising with the magic wand and has set stones rolling, which you now have to skilfully ride around and over. The trail runs in two different lines between large rocks. In addition, you can test your riding skills on the "Rock Roller" on stony ground.
Häxu Drops - Length: 40 m
Whether larger stones on natural trails or built elements, you will find small and larger steps - so-called "drops" - on practically all trails. On the drop line you can practise these at different heights so that you are best prepared for these situations on the trail. Note the tips and tricks on the run-up ramp.
Schlangenweg - Length: 220 m
To get back to the start, you have to pedal up the six curves of the snake trail to the start. Behind the covered magic carpet, the big witches' broom awaits you.
Abkürzung für Meisterschüler - Length: 35 m
If you want to get back to the start faster and more directly, you can shorten the "Schlangenweg" twice. But it will be steeper and more technical!
Das verhexte Nadelöhr - Length: 115 m
Being able to move your rear wheel with the help of the front brake and an active torso movement is a must-have on many trails. The ever tighter curve turns help you to get used to such situations step by step.
Der heimtückische Steingarten - Length: 90 m
Stone fields (so-called Rock Garden) are a recurring feature on trails and add technical riding spice. With two different lines (red and black) you can practise rolling over rocks and line choice.
Die magischen Häxu Jumps - Length: 160 m
What would a Häxuland be without the opportunity to learn to fly? The mountain bike becomes your broom on the Häxu Jumps! On the left blue line, you can try your hand at jumping. The right red line offers a bit more air time. The jumps are also good for practising tricks and jumping transfers.
Zauberfels - Length: 20 m
The most difficult test awaits you at the fearsome magic rock. Only experts should dare to tackle this one. A steep wooden ramp leads you up. As soon as you reach the top, the descent is just as steep. Visit the magic rock before conquering it on your mountain bike.

Häxutrail Bike
Length: 6.9 km | Duration: 35 min

Official route no. 157 of Mountainbikeland Schweiz.
The Nesselloop leads from Belalp via Nesselalp to Birgisch and awaits biking enthusiasts with a fantastic panorama of the Valais mountains and an exciting route!
