* Please note! Due to logging operations in the commune of Mittlach, the route at Schnepfenriedkopf level has been diverted (CF document below)!!

Start at Steinabruck on the outskirts of Metzeral (near the Wormsa chalets, towards Mittlach), before following the Wormsa path past the statue of the legendary bear, with a view of the Hohneck 850m above. Pass through the village of Mittlach to the Haut-Mittlach campsite. Then tackle the 6km climb to Schnepfenried. After crossing the resort, start the descent to Metzeral via the Ferme du Grand Hêtre. Before that, you can try out the Easy Bike Park (a small, fun mountain bike circuit) or the farm circuit to reach the Auberge Deybach. After a slightly technical start, it's mainly downhill on a wide track back to the starting point.

Drive to Schnepfenried, the main ski resort in the Munster valley. To get there you'll have the opportunity to discover Mittlach, a charming little village with its Alpine Ambulance Museum (a small military hospital from the 1st World War).

Departure possible from Munster via the cycle path heading towards Mittlach. br>Attention in winter maintenance of circuits is suspended
