The circuit features roughly equivalent climbs and descents in both directions. This route is ideal for racing bikes, everyday bikes, and road e-bikes. From Spiez, the slightly downhill road to Thun offers the easier start. The approximately 49-kilometer route runs directly along the shore for about three-quarters of the distance. Between Därligen and Faulensee, there is a paved bike path between the highway and Lake Thun; otherwise, the route follows the main road, mostly with bike lanes. Those who want to add more climbs can make a detour via Aeschi, Beatenberg, Sigriswil, or Heiligenschwendi." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://img.oastatic.com/img2/601524685/max/variant.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > www.interlaken.swiss/en/ > Experiences > Tour" --- GPX Share Lake Thun bike route ==================== - 47.46 km long - Round trip - Difficulty: medium - Condition: easy - Great panorama - Cycling A cyclist on a racing bike riding between Interlaken and Spiez, with Lake Thun and the Harder mountain in the background View from the road between Sundlauenen and the Beatus Caves of Lake Thun A female cyclist with a road bike is taking a photo towards Interlaken with the Harder Kander Bridge near Einigen Dirt path between Spiez and Einigen with a view of Lake Thun Forest path between Spiez and Einigen - 3:25 h - 47.46 km - 230 m - 230 m - 557 m - 648 m - 91 m - - Start: Spiez, train station - Destination: Spiez, train station The classic two-wheeler with panoramic views of the lake and mountains.
