Gibelegg circular route (Schweiz Mobil 505)

Naturpark Gantrisch - The Gibelegg route is scenic and technically attractive for biking. With constant ups and downs, this circular route leads around the Gibelegg southwest of Riggisberg.

Starting from the village of Riggisberg, the route overcomes the first altitude meters on low-traffic paved roads up to the Gibeleggwald. Once in the forest, it zigzags uphill to the highest point, the Gibelegg. On rough terrain the tour then leads downhill to Schwand, before a short ascent awaits on the opposite side of the valley, which leads over pleasant gravel roads to the Längeneybad.

The ups and downs are not over yet: now it goes downhill to the Rütiplötsch. Another long, gentle ascent follows via gravel and dirt roads, interrupted by short paved sections, up to the northern slope of the Gibelegg. The circular route ends after another descent back to the starting point Riggisberg.

Those who start the circular route alternatively in Rüschegg also ride the route clockwise but skip the detour to Riggisberg.
