Best Time of Year
Description
Mountain Drive is an all-terrain wheelchair specially developed for natural mountain hiking trails, coarse gravel, and steps. Since September 2021, there has been a Mountain Drive wheelchair available for rent at Camping Eggmatte on the Grimmialp.
During the short introductory route, you will encounter all types of terrain on your round and test how your vehicle works: going up and down, with parts covered with asphalt, and wider and narrower natural roads/paths.
The highlight of the round is the Schwenden chapel in the park of the Kurhaus Grimmialp hotel. A wonderful place to pause and enjoy the peace of nature. It is also worth taking a look inside the chapel. Access by wheelchair is possible. On the way from the chapel, you will also come across panels of the Albert Schweitzer Path. They tell about the life of probably the most famous guest at Grimmialp.
Note: This route has only been tested for all-terrain wheelchairs of the "Mountain Drive" brand.
