Spicherweg is a mountain biking route in the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland, set in the Appenzell Innerrhoden region about 8 miles from the town of Appenzell. The route is an out-and-back that reaches a high point of 4,905 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,294 feet. It is rated expert, so it suits riders with experience on challenging terrain. The climb is steep, with the high point sitting at the top of the route. The out-and-back covers about 2.3 miles, and riders will gain and lose about 1,300 feet in total over the course of the ride. The route is close to other destinations. Chopfbergweg and Cholwaldweg are both within a mile and are hikes rather than rides. The summit of Silberplatten lies about 2.2 miles away, and the Berggasthaus Tierwies, a mountain hut, is about 2.4 miles off.
