Mountain Drive: Long wheelchair tour around Grimmialp

You leave Camping Eggmatte on the access road and turn right at the end and follow the signposts "Grimmimutz", past the valley station of the Grimmialp chair lift. Shortly before the start of the Grimmimutz children's adventure trail, a tarred road leads off to the right. Follow it for a few metres until a path branches off to the left by the stream. It leads you up to lake "Blauseeli": a worthwhile detour! Ride back the same way to the start of the Grimmimutz adventure trail. Here, instead of following the adventure trail, continue along the paved road until you reach the stone pit. Turn sharp right here and follow the Schweiz Mobil mountain bike route along the natural road, slightly uphill through the wonderfully cool forest. We recommend taking the left lane for the ascent, it is easier to ride. The descent may take some courage, but is no problem with the Mountain Drive wheelchair. At the next forks, continue to follow the Schweiz Mobil mountain bike route to the bridge over the "Trüebbach". Here it's worth taking a scenic extra loop straight ahead in the direction of "Schlunegg". The road leads back to the stream and continues along the stream into the valley to "Geissboden", where you cross the bridge and rejoin the main road. Turn right onto the road and follow it up to Camping Eggmatte. Please ride on the far right-hand side so that you are seen by the traffic. 

On the road section from the campsite to Senggiweid and from Geissboden back to the campsite you are on a road with cars. Please ride on the side of the road and make sure that you are seen by the traffic.

• You can hire your Multi Drive wheelchair from Camping Eggmatte on request (contact see "Further information and links").
• Clothing appropriate to the weather
• Food for the road

We highly recommend the detour to small lake "Blauseeli". When there is no wind, the surrounding mountains are reflected in the deep blue water. It's worth taking one (or more) souvenir photos here.

Motorway A6 Bern direction Zweisimmen, 1 km after the Simmenfluhtunnel turn left direction Diemtigtal. Follow the Diemtigtal road into the valley for 18 km in the direction of Grimmialp, Schwenden. Shortly before Grimmialp, the road climbs and turns sharp left. Shortly afterwards, follow the signpost "Camping Eggmatte" on the right.

Take the train to Spiez and continue to Oey-Diemtigen station. Here you have to change to the post bus to the stop "Schwenden, Winteregg". You will reach Camping Eggmatte in a few hundred metres.
