The beautiful uphill of the tour by the rosenlaui Valley meets the mountainbiking Alpine route 1 and is signposted accordingly.

After leaving agree on a little-used road in the Reichenbach Valley is the main street. Past the route becomes increasingly flatter at the Reichenbach falls and makes the look for the Angel horns and later for the corrugated and Wetterhorn and the still impressive Rosenlaui.

It is quite steep on a short piece of to the Schwarzwaldalp. Then, with the Grosse Scheidegg and the imposing flanks of the wetterhorn in mind, the uphill is a treat.

On the Grosse Scheidegg, biker has earned a rest before you continue direction first. The trail is wide and many walkers therefore no problem. In addition they are guided on special trails (bike ban!).

The downhill is the first part fairly steep, never but technically really difficult and well fahrebar. A varied and scenic trail always between 1550 and 1650 m above sea level followed by followed by an easy downhill towards Grindelwald.

Version: who would like to drive a shorter and simpler way to Grindelwald, shortly after Grindel upper warehouses of signposted mountain bike route follow.
