01/ Overview
The route
At just under five kilometres in length, the FIS–Rennloipe in Ulrichen will have you feeling like a cross-country pro. This trail gives ambitious skiers a true taste of the competitive spirit. This shaded trail combines sharp ascents with challenging descents.
The starting point of the four-kilometre trail is in Ulrichen, away from public transport. The nearest stop, «Ulrichen, Kirche», is around 700 metres away. From the village, the circuit heads out into open terrain and initially climbs steadily. After almost two kilometres, it reaches its highest point at around 1'400 m.
The trail then turns back towards Ulrichen and gradually loses altitude. Geschinersee lies in the wider surroundings, but the circuit does not reach its shore. The route covers around 160 metres of elevation gain in total and takes a good one and a quarter hours. Towards the end, the trail descends to around 1'340 m before returning to the village. A bistro is located near the finish, before the circuit ends at its starting point in Ulrichen.
