Gravel gallop - Längenegg offensive
Challenging MTB loop starting from Glarus via Obersee, Lachenalp and the Längenegg Pass with a carrying section. Dreamlike high alpine scenery, long ascents and a varied descent via Richisau and Klöntal.
This alpine route demands stamina, surefootedness and a bit of adventurous spirit – but rewards with magnificent scenery and secluded sections.
From Glarus the route initially follows the Linth flatly to Näfels. There the route branches off to the left in the direction of Obersee. Along the lake the road steadily rises and continues into the upper valley – the scenery becomes increasingly alpine.
Over the Lachenalp the ascent continues upwards to the Längenegg Pass. In the upper section, a stretch of carrying or pushing is required. This section gives the tour its high alpine character and guarantees a real bike adventure.
After the pass follows a varied descent via Schwändeli and Richisau. Then you roll along the idyllic Klöntal lake before there are some more altitude meters to overcome over the Saggberg. After that the route leads back to Glarus.
