Legal bike infrastructure around Lake Thun
All around Lake Thun, you’ll find diverse mountain bike trails, each with its own unique character. The Rabenfluh Trail and the Goldiwheel Trail are known for plenty of flow, airtime, and playful features like banked turns, waves, and jumps. The Heartbeat Trail in Beatenberg offers a longer, challenging descent with technical sections, roots, and rocky sections. With the Blueme Trail and the Grütsch Trail, lovers of nature-oriented singletrack will also get their money’s worth: While the Blueme Trail impresses with its loamy forest floor and smooth sections, the Grütsch Trail combines flow elements with rocky, more technical passages, ensuring a particularly varied riding experience.
Want to hone your riding skills or looking for a beginner-friendly option for kids?
