Description

Tempting and tough root-strewn trails alternate with easy dirt roads and forest trails. On the one hand, the top of the Zugerberg mountain rewards you with majestic viewsF12F12 of Lake Zug and the Central Swiss Alps, on the other, the Lorzetobel region will demand a high degree of biking skill. The point being that technically speaking, this one's a hard nut to crack, so you'll need to focus all your concentration on the way ahead instead of gaping at the surroundings. The "old town" of Zug will welcome you home at the end of the tour with a superb range of features for those in search of discovery.
