An adventure for the whole family: past the Alpe Bäll, the Trotti-Bike Tour leads downhill to Blatten.

The slopes where you go sledging or skiing in winter can be raced down on a Trotti-Bike in the summer months - a thrilling experience for the whole family. The Trotti-Bikes can be rented at the mountain station of the cable car on the Belalp. 

Then you are ready to go! First, the gravel road takes you through settlements on Belalp and Alpe Bäll and through the mystical Täätschwald forest. From the Täätschen, the road is asphalted and leads down to Blatten in numerous turns. 

The approximately 7-kilometre descent from Belalp to Blatten makes your pulse beat faster and the wind blows hard around your ears. 

Children between the ages of 7 and 15 must be accompanied by an adult!

During the summer season, you can hire the trottibikes until 17:00 at the latest (last ascent at 16:50). In late summer from 1 September, the hire period is limited to 16:00. Please note that trottibikes are not issued outside the summer season.

Rental price incl. helmet is CHF 10.00 per ride (90 min.).
