After a short but steep climb out of town and a very long descent into Zweisimmen, you will explore pastures and streams on densely packed gravel paths. Or if you prefer, follow the paved roads nearby. Admire the cold streams and giant family chalets, and be sure to take pictures as these traffic-free valleys are seldom seen by tourists.
You’ll spend the later part of the day riding the shores of Lake Thun before reaching Interlaken. Once there, leave your bikes behind and take a 45 minute cogwheel train ride up to the alpine town of Wengen. There are no cars allowed in town. Indeed, to preserve the beauty of the region, the whole area has been designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
Tomorrow you will explore the hiking trails, but now it’s time to relax.
