Description
The tour starts in Solothurn and climbs the steepest pass in Switzerland to Weissenstein. From the pass the trail starts and follows the ridgeline towards Obergrenchenberg. The trail is at times flowy and at times technical with a few spots of exposure along the way. From Obergrenchenberg the trail drops into the woods on some quite flowy trails leading to Grenchen.
The ascent can be made slightly easier by taking the train to Gänsbrunnen and riding from there to the top of Weissensteinpass (saves 300m climb and ascends less steeply).
