Where you sled or ski in winter, you speed down in summer on the Trotti-Bike - an exciting experience for the whole family. Trotti-Bikes can be rented at the mountain station of the cable car on the Belalp.
Then off you go! Initially, you ride on the gravel road through settlements on the Belalp and the Alpe Bäll and through the mystical Täätschwald. From the Täätschen, the path is paved and leads down in numerous curves to Blatten.
The approximately 7-kilometer downhill from Belalp to Blatten gets your pulse racing and the wind blows strongly around your ears.
Children between 7 and 15 years must be accompanied by an adult!
During the summer season, you can rent the Trotti-Bikes until 5:00 p.m. at the latest (last ascent at 4:50 p.m.). In late summer from September 1, the rental time is limited until 4:00 p.m. Please note that Trotti-Bikes are not issued outside the summer season.
Rental price including helmet is CHF 10.00 per ride (90 minutes).
