Wheelchair users can easily access the first section of the trail as the stone sculptures are erected next to the tarmac trail. There is only a minor incline at the start where little help is required. Some of the stone sculptures are right next to the trail, others can be viewed from afar. Overall, this wheelchair-accessible section of the sculpture trail takes approx. half an hour and it returns to the starting point in the village adjacent to the main road.
Valley hiking trail with swiss trac
Start
Mandarfen (1679m)
Finish
Wiese (1462m)
Swiss Trac Tour:The valley hiking trail from Mandarfen to Wiese (ca. 22 km) can be navigated either by electric handbike or sections of it by Swiss-Trac. If you are using an electric handbike, we would advise to start in Mandarfen and take the route out of the valley. The route is overall challenging as it repeatedly features steep inclines and varied terrain. There are several sections through grazing pastures. We would recommend the following sections for Swiss-Trac users:
- Mandarfen and Neurur (ca. 6 km)
- Stillebach and Eggenstall (ca. 4 km)
- Enger and Wiese (ca. 5 km)
Lake Rifflsee
Start
Bottom station Rifflseebahn/Sunna Alm (2290m)
Finish
Bottom station Rifflseebahn/Sunna Alm (2290m)
Swiss Trac Tour: From the car park the valley station of Rifflseebahn gondola is accessed on level ground. Several steps up to the ticket office can be accessed via a short, but steep ramp. Proficient Swiss-Trac users can mange the gradient of the ramp. Please note that railings restrict access to the area outside the ticket office. You will also have to pass through this area in order to access the ground-level toilets around the corner of the building. Please note that these toilets are not suitable for wheelchair users. Access to the gondola is via a second, longer steep ramp. Even Swiss-Trac users would be advised to have someone to assist them for this section. The gondola is accessed via a step and the space between the benches allows for a wheelchair with a maximum width of 60 cm. The Swiss-Trac can be transported in the next gondola with an assisting person. Once at the mountain station, the helpful gondola staff will stop the gondola once again to allow for an easy exit. Immediately after leaving the gondola you can see Lake Rifflsee, a glacial lake nestled in a hollow that features are 3 km long circular route.
Directly next to the mountain station is “Sunna Alm” mountain restaurant. The circular route starts from here and also passes the jetty of the raft ride. The first 500 m are a steep descent and water gullies have to be traversed. Once the path levels off in the coombe of the lake the path is relatively level and well prepared. The second half of the circular trail, from the bridge onwards is more uneven with larger stones. The ascent back up to “Sunna Alm” is quite steep again. It takes approx. 1 hour to complete the route and return to your starting point. Enjoy magnificent views of Lake Rifflsee from the sun terrace of the mountain restaurant. The restaurant area of “Sunna Alm” is very spacious. The toilets are in the basement and cannot be accessed by wheelchair.
