SALZMATT & SUMMER FESTIVAL

July 6, 2025
An absolute highlight in the Gantrisch Nature Park.
Salzmatt. Who doesn't know it? The alpine pasture in the Gantrisch Nature Park. At this CMW highlight, we'll be exploring some of the region's lesser-known areas. A kind of insider tip ride. The route up to the pasture leads through Swiss military training grounds. We'll find out about a month before the event whether it's open to traffic. But we're optimistic and looking forward to an unforgettable day. We'll also be taking advantage of back roads on the way there and back, adding a few extra meters of elevation gain along the way. Because we can, and because it's simply more enjoyable.
We're especially pleased to be hosting this event together with Velafrica. After the ride, we want to raise a glass to summer together. The Dreigänger restaurant will be opening its doors exclusively for us. In a wonderful atmosphere, we can reminisce about the day and celebrate a little over delicious food and refreshing drinks. The space is even big enough to throw a proper little party. More details to follow. You can choose whether you want to attend the ride and/or the summer party. Your friends are also very welcome at the summer party at the Dreigänger, whether they participated in the ride or not.
Registration via this website is required for this trip. The number of participants is limited.
