«Bachalpsee» Loop

Whilst this trail is suitable for beginners to advanced riders, it does require an advanced mountain bike riding technique and trail experience. A good balance with weight shifting to overcome obstacles, step riding, as well as a safe cornering and braking technique are necessary.

Since summer 2018, the mountain bike trail at Lake Bachalp - Grindelwald is officially signposted. First, however, you’ll have to conquer the ascent from Grindelwald (bike transport is highly restricted on the cable ways in Grindelwald). The asphalt pass road leads to Grosse Scheidegg. It continues on a gravel road to First and Lake Bachalp. Once you reach the top, stop and take in the breath-taking snow-covered peaks of the Bernese Alps. Once sufficiently recovered, it's time to tackle the 13 km descent. It is a mix of rock slabs, stepped passages, meadows and woods on the 1,200 metres downhill. The trail, overall, is mostly smooth to ride.
