Challenging tour high above the Vierwaldstättersee, on the Klewenalp

After a strenuous ascent or the comfortable journey with the Beckenried-Klewenalp mountain railway, we look forward to the upcoming descent from 1600 m down to the lake at 435 m above sea level.
From the Panorama mountain restaurant, the trail leads around the Klewenstock, past lush alpine meadows and breezy forests to the Twäregg. After a short, interesting descent, we turn right at the next junction and follow the signposted Choltal Route 922, which takes us to the first challenging single trail section down into picturesque Choltalfüh. We continue easily towards Emmetten. At the valley station of the Niederbauen cable car we ride straight up to the Hotel Seeblick.
Here it is worth taking a short break to enjoy the wonderful view over Lake Lucerne towards Bürgenberg and Pilatus. Now the other highlights of this route begin: if you feel like it, you can do one or more laps on the Woodtrail before continuing. The Natural Bike Park is also worth a closer look. It offers valuable tips and tricks on biking technique. After the Natural Bike Park, the route continues seamlessly to the new Risleten Trail, which takes us down to the lake via fun serpentines and flowing sections in the middle of the forest.
Once the strenuous descent has been completed, we roll along the lake, relaxing, towards Beckenried. The lake is certainly worth a swim here.
