Filzbach http://filzbach.traildevils.ch/

Starting point: From the village of Filzbach, follow a lane up the mountain until you reach a small chairlift with a car park.
Trail type: Freeride (May to October)
Physical Fitness: 3 (The trail is short, but physically demanding)
Technical Difficulty: 4-5 (There are choices)

Take the first chairlift right up to the top (second station). There is a restaurant at the top to the left. Follow the road straight ahead and then to the right around a shed and back to the start of the track. The track goes from the top to down to the mid station. So take everything you are likely to need up with you as you will probably not return to the car park again until the end of the day. Though there is a very easy road down from the mid station to the car park.

This is a very fun little trail. It is quite short but has lots of challenges both natural and man made. This includes wooden wall rides, jumps, moderate rock gardens and a few steep sections with tree roots. They have also added some more "North Shore" wooden tracks in the forest in 2008 that look like they could be fun when they are less wet and slippery than last time I was there. All the jumps have an alternative route that airtime is optional on.

This is not a track for beginners and is definitely best on a full downhill or freeride rig. Hardtail is possible, but you want a fairly beefy hardtail. But if you are comfortable and relaxed (and maybe a bit bored) with everything that Uetliberg throws at you and happily pin Lenzerheide at speed, then this is the track for you. It is exceedingly fun. I have taken a couple of mates here who had never been downhilling before, but had been mountainbiking before. They both finished the day with the biggest grins on their faces.

Lift passes are half price if the weather looks a bit dodgy with rain.
