Landschaftspark Binntal -

Open
This scenic circular tour from Binn offers fantastic views of the Binntal valley and is equally suitable for mountain bikes, e-bikes and gravel bikes.

The circular tour from Binn is ideal for sporty families, adults and outdoor enthusiasts.

The technically easy but physically demanding route runs along wide forest paths and leads from Binn via Gand to the idyllically situated Masshitta-Alpe - a quiet, scenic spot with impressive views of the Binntal valley.

Along the way, there are always panoramic views of the striking landscape of the regional nature park. The tour can also be combined with the cultural offerings of the nature park.

The tour is ideal for classic mountain bikes, but is also suitable for gravel bikes. If you prefer a more leisurely ride, use an e-bike - because the experience of nature is impressive even with electric assistance.
