The Jochpass Trail is a varied bike trail that leads from Jochpass to Trübsee and is designed so that both experienced and less experienced bikers have fun.
The Jochpass Trail with lots of flow and some more difficult sections promises unlimited riding fun. From the Jochpass mountain station, the intermediate path winds approximately 4.5 kilometers down towards Trübsee. You overcome a total of 440 meters of elevation. Turns, waves, and jumps have been designed so that both beginners and advanced riders can enjoy the trail with equal fun. However, mountain biking experience is required in any case. There are two options to get to the starting point of the trail. Either choose the comfortable option and take the Titlis Xpress from Engelberg. At the Trübsee mountain station, get off and ride along the left lakeshore to the Jochpass valley station. The short section takes about 5 minutes. Or you can ride the bike from the Titlis valley station via Untertrübsee to Trübsee. From there you take the chairlift to the start of the trail.
