    Rosenlauital-Grosse Scheidegg- Grindelwald No.: 1629 Route Category: Mountainbike Author: Guido Amrein Endurance: Technique: Type of Way: Date: August 26, 2008 Duration: 3 hr 46 min Length total: 36 km Height total: 1,719 m Height min.: 595 m Height max.: 2,017 m 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. © Guido Amrein & Tourfinder.net Page 1 / 5 Rosenlauital-Grosse Scheidegg- Grindelwald © Guido Amrein & Tourfinder.net Page 2 / 5

  • Over the Alps on a Bike with a Boost Cycling Swiss Mountain Passes with Battery Power (And Some Breath to Spare) Isn’T a Bad Way to Cheat
    C M Y K Sxxx,2011-08-28,TR,001,Bs-4C,E1 SUNDAY, AUGUST 28, 2011 Over The Alps On a Bike With A Boost Cycling Swiss mountain passes with battery power (and some breath to spare) isn’t a bad way to cheat. BY TIM NEVILLE HE road east out of Sören- berg rears up into a series of steep turns that climb the Glaubenbielen Pass, the T high point of a road the Swiss Army punched through the Alps more than 60 years ago. Though the occasional car and bus make the jour- ney to the top, these days much of the road belongs to cyclists. On a cool afternoon in mid-July I was one of them. I hadn’t ridden much all season, yet something primordial kicked in when I spied another biker just ahead. His calf muscles were swollen like Salamanca hams, and he was stooped over the bars, sweat drip- ping onto the pavement. Easy pickings, I thought, as I tore after him. Within moments I’d reeled him in. He, gasping; me, hardly out of breath: I felt, well, guilty. “You’re cheating!” he panted in German as I sped by. “You’ll be out of power soon!” He was right: I was cheating. With the mash of a button on my handle- bars, a 250-watt electric motor had spun to life and increased the power of my pedal strokes by 150 percent. Sud- denly I had my own domestique, a 26- volt brute that seemed to grab the saddle and shove me onward every Continued on Page 6 TOMAS VAN HOUTRYVE FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES A Flyer electric bicycle helps a rider get over the Grosse Scheidegg Pass in Switzerland.

From here we followed the milky glacial meltwaters of the Lutschine River to Lauterbrunnen where we boarded the train for the last leg of our journey to Wengen, perched high on the alp above. It was a short walk to our hotel where we had time to settle in and admire the amazing scenery. It had been a very hot day with temperatures in the mid-30s and, as we enjoyed our evening meal on the terrace, we were treated to a superb alpenglow on the Jungfrau. Day 2 Monday 27th June The hot sunny weather of yesterday looked set to continue, so we took the cable-car up to Mannlichen. We were immediately in a different world, surrounded by a panorama of mountains, dominated by the imposing north faces of the Jungfrau and Eiger, and with a wealth of alpine flowers at our feet.

  • The Eiger Myth Compiled by Marco Bomio
    The Eiger Myth Compiled by Marco Bomio Compiled by Marco Bomio, 3818 Grindelwald 1 The Myth «If the wall can be done, then we will do it – or stay there!” This assertion by Edi Rainer and Willy Angerer proved tragically true for them both – they stayed there. The first attempt on the Eiger North Face in 1936 went down in history as the most infamous drama surrounding the North Face and those who tried to conquer it. Together with their German companions Andreas Hinterstoisser and Toni Kurz, the two Austrians perished in this wall notorious for its rockfalls and suddenly deteriorating weather. The gruesome image of Toni Kurz dangling in the rope went around the world. Two years later, Anderl Heckmair, Ludwig Vörg, Heinrich Harrer and Fritz Kasparek managed the first ascent of the 1800-metre-high face. 70 years later, local professional mountaineer Ueli Steck set a new record by climbing it in 2 hours and 47 minutes. 1.1 How the Eiger Myth was made In the public perception, its exposed north wall made the Eiger the embodiment of a perilous, difficult and unpredictable mountain. The persistence with which this image has been burnt into the collective memory is surprising yet explainable. The myth surrounding the Eiger North Face has its initial roots in the 1930s, a decade in which nine alpinists were killed in various attempts leading up to the successful first ascent in July 1938. From 1935 onwards, the climbing elite regarded the North Face as “the last problem in the Western Alps”. This fact alone drew the best climbers – mainly Germans, Austrians and Italians at the time – like a magnet to the Eiger.
