Alpine Bike, Stage 12: Grindelwald – Interlaken

A special feature of this ascent is its proximity to the Eiger. Like a patron saint, he sits enthroned above the alpine road to Kleine Scheidegg. From the Kleine Scheidegg railway station, the 12km descent begins over gravel roads and leads to Lauterbrunnen. From time to time, you will find yourself stopping to soak in the clean fresh air and admire a magnificent panorama of the snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Alps. From Lauterbrunnen, the trail continues and follows the Lütschine river to Interlaken. If you feel, you can further continue towards Lake Brienz or Lake Thun and cool off in the turquoise waters. Otherwise, just lock your bike up at the nearest station in Interlaken and go for a swim in the Aare.

Unfortunately, there are no single trails available on this route.
