Information
Directions
The “Ruthenaar-Double” route is designed for beginners and families, starting with the “ascent” via the K1 lift. On the “Ruthenaar-Intro” trail, you can ease into the ride before tackling the highlight of the loop: the approximately 4-kilometer-long Ruthenaar Trail. After a few hundred meters on a forest road, you’ll be back at the starting point—and ready for the next lap.
Equipment
We recommend a helmet, functional cycling clothing appropriate for the weather, snacks in a backpack, plenty of fluids (water, tea), a bike pump, a repair kit, and a multitool.
