Steinweg is a mountain biking route in the St. Gallen canton of Switzerland, about 1.3 miles from the town of Weisstannen. It is an out-and-back climb of roughly 1.3 miles, with a one-way elevation gain of 441 feet. The route reaches a high point of about 3,935 feet, and the total round-trip gain and loss are each about 1,780 feet. The climb is rated expert, and it is a long, steep ride. Because the trail is out and back, the figures for elevation gain apply to one direction, with the return trip covering the same amount of descent. For a shorter outing, the Gamidaurwege hike lies about 0.7 miles away. The Eselweg mountain biking route is about 2.2 miles off, and the Piltschinabachfall waterfall and the Pizol summit are both about 2.9 miles away.
