Bike Loop Käserstatt
Starting at Twing, the route offers a nice mix of well-maintained gravel paths and technically challenging single trails. The ascent to Käserstatt is challenging, but the magnificent view of the surrounding peaks and the fresh mountain air make the climb a pleasure.
Once you reach the highest point, the descent begins – a real highlight of the Käserstatt loop. The route winds through green forests and across meadows, offering spectacular views of the majestic mountains of the Bernese Oberland. Every biker gets their money's worth here.
Gadmen Loop
This circular route runs from Innertkirchen through the picturesque Gadmen Valley and offers a perfect combination of Alpine terrain, green valleys and imposing mountain views. At just under 30 kilometers long and with a climb of around 1,000 meters, the tour is ideal for experienced mountain bikers who want to enjoy nature and a sporting challenge in equal measure.
The tour starts in the idyllic village of Gadmen. Right at the beginning, the route leads uphill and winds along quiet gravel paths through the Gadmen valley. The ascent requires a good level of fitness, but rewards you with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain peaks and wide alpine meadows. Once at the top, a varied descent with technically demanding passages awaits you.
Mountain View Trail
Your tour starts in the picturesque Lauterbrunnen. First, you will ride along a gently rising paved road to Stechelberg. You can comfortably take the train up to Gimmelwald – perfect for saving energy for the upcoming trail.
Once you arrive in Gimmelwald, you will cycle through Mürren before the real ascent begins via Mittelberg and Oberberg. Here, an alpine road takes you up to 1880 meters above sea level. The ground constantly changes between stone and earth – variety is guaranteed!
At an altitude of 1767 meters above sea level, the next steep section begins. Here you have to push your bike until you reach the Marchegg. After that, it's downhill again: the trail leads you over the Läger down to Chüebodmi. The first few meters are a bit challenging, as steps make the descent more difficult, but soon the path becomes smoother and more fluid to ride.
Shortly after crossing the Sousbach, the next challenge awaits you: tight corners on loose ground that test your riding skills. But don't worry, with a little skill you can master this section too. The last short ascent at Chüebodmi prepares you for the final descent. The route then returns to Lauterbrunnen on wider, easier paths.
Northface Trail
This picturesque bike tour starts at the Schilthorn cableway station in Mürren and takes you through breathtaking mountain scenery that will make any biker's heart beat faster.

The trail widens from Schiltalp onwards, offering you a more relaxed ride. The route is not only scenic, but also informative: along the way, 12 information boards tell you interesting facts about the history and mountains around Mürren.

From Schiltgrat, the trail winds through dense coniferous forests down to Suppenboden. Here you can enjoy the tranquillity of nature and the fresh mountain air as you glide gently along the trail. The last 100 meters or so lead you along alpine roads up to Almendhubel, another highlight of the route.
