E-Bike & Hike - Murgsee

E-bike tour to Mornen (21km, 3h 15min, there and back)

The adventure tour starts directly at Murg railroad station. From there, the trail leads into the idyllic Murg Valley. Let yourself be enchanted by the beautiful surroundings and discover the Murg Valley on two wheels. The steady ascent to the Plätz hydroelectric power station soon begins. From there, the trail winds its way through numerous bends. From Merlen, the trail turns into a gravel road. The route continues through the green countryside to the transport cable car on Alp Mornen. There we swap the e-bike for hiking boots.

Hike to the Murg lakes (7.7 km, 2h 45 min, there and back)

We continue our journey along the Murgbach stream. You will soon reach the first of the three picturesque Murg lakes, passing the impressive Murgbach Falls before arriving at the middle and upper Murg lakes and the Murgsee hut. A perfect place for a relaxing break to enjoy the surrounding nature and panoramic views. The Murgsee lakes are framed by a ring of mountains, with the imposing Mürtschenstock and its three peaks of Stock, Fulen and Ruchen on the left. The return journey follows the same route, but the view out of the valley allows hikers to discover new facets of the original Murg Valley time and time again.
