Gusto Rides

The ÖKK BIKE REVOLUTION offers something for all bikers: get to know the highlights of the destination on various Gusto rides and enjoy many culinary highlights.

EasyGusto - 1th June 2024

The tour takes you to all sides of the Engelberg valley basin. First of all, you head upstream along the Aawasser, up the mountain and towards the spring in the direction of the Surenen Pass in the canton of Uri.

However, this tour does not go quite that high up. At Stäfeli, where small home-made specialities await you, you turn around again and head back towards Engelberg, where you can stop for refreshments at the Alpenresort Eienwäldli. The next ascent then takes you to the sunny side of Engelberg, where you can stop for lunch at Gasthaus Schwand and enjoy some refreshments. Afterwards, a varied descent takes you back to the Event Venue in Engelberg.

Finisher drink: Back at the event site, you can leave your bike in professional care directly at the ABUS Free Bike Car Park and enjoy your finisher drink in the centre of the bike event atmosphere at the venue.

BikeGusto - 1th June 2024

The tour takes you to all sides of the Engelberg valley basin. First of all, you head upstream along the Aawasser, up the mountain and towards the spring in the direction of the Surenen Pass in the canton of Uri.

However, this tour does not go quite that high up. At Stäfeli, where small home-made specialities await you, you turn around again and head back towards Engelberg, where you can stop for refreshments at the Alpenresort Eienwäldli. The next ascent then takes you to the sunny side of Engelberg, where you can ride a short technical trail before stopping for lunch at Gasthaus Schwand. After lunch, there are two possible varied descents back to Engelberg to the Event Venue, where the middle tour comes to an end.

A cool additional loop awaits you at "BikeGusto", which - following the old bobsleigh run - leads to Gerschnialp before the last flowing descent of the day: Look forward to the newly built Gerschni-Trail with lots of jumps and berms (jumps can be bypassed).

Finisher drink: Back at the event site, you can leave your bike in professional care directly at the ABUS Free Bike Car Park and enjoy your finisher drink in the centre of the bike event atmosphere at the venue.

BrunchRide - 2nd June 2024

The brunch tour takes you leisurely upstream along the Aawasser, up the mountain and towards the spring. You pedal towards the end of the Engelberg Valley, past the golf course and up a little until you reach the Alpenrösli shortly after the border with the canton of Uri*. You've made it! Time to take a break before heading back down. Up here you should pause for a moment, enjoy the peace and quiet and take a look at the imposing mountains with their streams that turn into waterfalls. From there, the route takes you back to Engelberg on easy trails, where a delicious brunch awaits you at the Hotel Engelberg "das Trail Hotel" - right in the centre of Engelberg village.

*If you wish, you can also add a short additional loop (approx. 150 metres in altitude, 3 km) and ride up to Alp Stäfeli.
