  • Destination: Meiringen train station
Highlights of the bike route are the Susten Pass, the Steingletscher, the Gadmental, and the Aare Gorge.

On the road through the Schöllenen Gorge to Göschenen, the bike rolls by itself. In Wassen, the climb begins via side paths into the Meien Valley. Only a small part of the route runs on the pass road up to the Susten Pass summit.

The higher it gets, the more difficult the path becomes. Shortly before the pass summit, expect sections where you may have to push the bike for up to 15 minutes. However, this does not diminish the phenomenal view of the mountains and valley.

From the Susten Pass summit, the ride descends along the pass road until shortly before Gadmen, where the route continues to Innertkirchen away from traffic. After passing through the village, the bike path runs along the right riverbank - above the Aare Gorge - to Meiringen, which involves an ascent. Biking is prohibited inside the Aare Gorge itself.
