Bike Tour of the Interlaken Valley: Rivers, Lakes & Forests

Join us for a ride around the breathtaking valley of Interlaken. Our guide will lead the way alongside pristine rivers and lakes, through picturesque woodlands and countryside. We will also stop at two medieval castle ruins as well as the beautiful historic town centres of Unterseen and Wilderwil. Along the way we'll take you off the beaten track and show you our favourite spots that only the locals know. Let us show you that the best way to explore this incredible region is by bike!

Tour participants should meet at the Yellow Velo store at 9 am (the tour will begin at 9.15 am). We’re located in the heart of Interlaken, just a 5-minute walk from Interlaken West train station. Store Address Yellow Velo, Postgasse 11, 3800 Interlaken, Switzerland Here you will also have the chance to buy any suncream, water, soft drinks, and sunglasses you may need.

The first part of the tour takes us out of Interlaken city center and along the turquoise Aare River for approximately 30 minutes. The route is on a flat cycle path through a wooded area alongside the river where we may pass the passenger boat also making its way to the lake.

Our ride will bring us to Lake Thun, where the river Aare and the boat canal both meet. In the distance you can see the spectacular Niesen mountain. Here you will have chance to take photos of this truly beautiful place.

The Weissenau ruins are the ruins of a medieval low castle. The castle and the associated harbour were built in the 13th century as an imperial castle to secure and control the movement of goods over the Alpine passes.

Bike Ride back towards Interlaken through farmland with impressive 360 views of the surrounding valley including the Harder mountain and the mountain village of Beatenburg.

Our bike ride leads us to Unterseen Old Town named Stadthausplatz after the historical town house in the middle of the square. Since the town was founded in 1279, the town house has been the hub of public life. The first tourists that visited the Bernese Oberland stayed here.

Check out the increadible views over the valley and lakes from this medieval ruin.

Bike ride to Bonigen on Lake Brienz. Here you you will have the opportunity to hang out with your tour group at the lakeside and go for a dip in the refreshingly cool lake water! And if you want to stay and enjoy the sunshine, we can also offer discounted bike rental so that you can return the bike at your leisure!

We will end our tour with a cycle through a traditional BIO farm and back along the Aare River towards Interlaken and the Yellow Velo shop. Here you can purchase souvenir t-shirt and bags to remember your trip by.
