The ride up to Täschalp and deep into the valley begins with an ascent of the slopes above Täsch, mostly following small mountain roads. The climb is technically straightforward and boosts fitness.
The Täschalp taxi is a motorised way to help overcome the initial elevation gain to Täschalp. A reservation with the Täsch information office on +41 27 966 81 10 is essential.
On Täschalp, there are some small chalets and a chapel. The view of the Weisshorn on the opposite side of the valley is incredible. It's well worth stopping for a rest.
The trail continues up to the Täschhütte and is very steep in places. On the way up, another highlight of the route is the stunning view down onto the plain around the Mellichbach river.
Suggestion: If you don't want to bike the last steep section from Täschalp to the Täschalp hut, you can head from Täschalp through the valley (towards Pfulwe). The trail runs parallel to the Mellichbach river, climbing gently into the valley for a little over 3 km. Being in the valley surrounded by the incredible mountains makes you feel very small! If the trail becomes too steep to ride up, then simply turn around.
