Dala Bärgüf (Uphill)

The ascent starts at Susten trainstation and leads through the pretty little town of Leuk high up into the "Dalatal" valley. After a short, steep gravel road, you reach the main road at St. Barbara. After a few hundred metres, a narrow side road branches off to the right to the hamlet "Tschingeren" and climbs with a pleasant gradient up to the rustic mountain village of Albinen. From here you reach the main road high above the Dala valley to the Flaschen / Scales of Albinen "Albinenleitern" turn-off and back to Leukerbad. Caution: Brake after the tunnel and climb a few metres up here onto the hiking/nature trail. It leads at a constant altitude to the valley station of the Torrent cable car and directly to the village centre.

Other ascent variants are also recommended: instead of crossing the main road in Leuk town, follow it to the left to Varen. A high bridge leads over the impressive Dala gorge into the pretty wine village of Varen. A side road branches off to the right here to Inden. Carved into the steep rock face, it leads above the gorge to Rumeling. What a magnificent view! From Rumeling, it is best to pedal up to Inden via the main road and return to Leukerbad via the "Larschi Rundi" route.
