Chuenisberg Premiere
Premiere is the far left hand side of Chuenisberg. Often neglected it has a few excellent routes. As with the rest of Chuenisberg it is in the shade, and so good for hot summer days, but equally slow to dry and cold in the winter.
When coming from Basel drive past Aesch and go through the Eggflüe tunnel and continue for 1Km or so until there is a turning on the right to Nenzlingen Dorf. After about 400 metres the road goes right and there is a left turn towards the Restaurant Blauen Reben. Follow this narrow road uphill for another 1200 metres until just before a sharp left U turn. Park here on the right by the concrete blocks. If you reach the restaurant you have gone too far. A small path goes through the concrete blocks, follow this for a few minutes to a forest road. Turn left and follow the road until just before it leaves the wood where there is a track on the right. Follow this up to the sector Ravage. Turn left and you are at the "Premiere" section of Chuenisberg. 10 to 15 minutes from the car.
