You can conveniently reach Rosswald with the gondola from Ried-Brig. The bike trail starts directly at the mountain station. Ride right on the gravel road downhill. After 200 meters, turn right and follow the trail until you reach the paved road at Resti, which you cross and continue following the trail.
Via the trails, you return to the valley station of the Rosswald cable cars, which takes you back up the mountain for a second round.
