Grindelwald: A paradise for mountain bike enthusiasts

The majestic mountains, the fresh air and the feeling of freedom - that's what many people love about the mountains. And for those seeking the adrenaline of mountain biking, there's no better place than Grindelwald, Switzerland.

The journey begins

Grindelwald, a picturesque village in the Bernese Alps, not only offers breathtaking views but also some of the best mountain biking trails. One such route is the Bachalpsee - Grindelwald mountain bike tour. Officially signposted since summer 2018, this route offers a mix of climbs, descents and breathtaking panoramas.

The route

The tour begins in Grindelwald and leads along an asphalt road to Großer Scheidegg. This section is also ideal for racing cyclists or gravel bikers who want to train their altitude. However, some decide to bridge this section by bus and go directly to the Firstbahn summit station. From there it is only about five kilometers to the picturesque Bachalpsee.

For those who want to ride the entire route, the total length is approximately 30.5 kilometers. The tour lasts approximately four and a half hours and includes an ascent of 1435 meters and a descent of 1440 meters.

A place to linger

Once you arrive at Lake Bachalpsee, it's time for a well-deserved break. Here bikers can admire the snow-covered peaks of the Bernese Alps. It is a place that not only touches the eyes but also the soul.

The adventure continues

After this relaxing break, bikers can look forward to a 12 kilometer long trail that leads through various landscapes. From flat sections to stepped passages to meadows and forest areas, this trail offers everything a mountain biker's heart desires. However, it should be noted that some sections are technically demanding and therefore require a certain level of experience.

Conclusion

Grindelwald is without a doubt a paradise for mountain bike enthusiasts. With its challenging trails, breathtaking views and fresh mountain air, it offers an unforgettable experience. For anyone who loves the mountains and is looking for the adrenaline of mountain biking, Grindelwald is an absolute must.
