Reichenbachtal Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Although it is only uphill if you are coming from Meringen, the journey through the Reichenbach Valley is extremely entertaining and beautiful. This is due to the beautiful landscape and the varied highlights on the way. There is always something going on from the cozy refreshment stop to the hammer view. And if you notice on the way that you have planned too much, there is always a plan B: A Postbus travels through the Reichenbach Valley so that you can easily change from bike to bus in various places.

From Meiringen to Grosse Scheidegg

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

This route is the "easiest" way to get from Meiringen to the Grossen Schiedegg. The climb is partly really steep and more than 17 kilometers long, so plan your strength well. Although you drive over asphalt here and one or the other racing cyclist will surely overtake you, it is also quite attractive here with the MTB. The Reichenbach Valley is a scenic dream, and the road from Schwarzwaldalp is closed to motorized traffic.

If the 1,250 vertical meters are too much of a good thing for you, there is an energy-saving alternative: The Postbus runs between Meiringen and Grindelwald - with a stop at the Grosse Scheidegg and including bicycle transport. You can find information here: postauto.ch/de/ausflugstipps/rosenlaui-linie.

Gschwandtenmaad Alpine Meadow

Highlight • Natural

Actually so unspectacular, but still awesome: You just have to stop here and let the combination of green grass, clean river water and mountain panorama work for you. The peaks in front of you belong to the Wetterhorn and Wellhorns. An incredibly memorable place.

Which Swiss pass has only half the alcohol content of Gorbachev vodka, but packs just as much of a punch? That's right, the drive up to the Große Scheidegg.
Partly car-free, the narrow road winds its way up to the Große Scheidegg, the panorama is world class and is only surpassed by the horn (and noise) of the post buses. …
