best season

Easy mountain bike tour with views of the snow-covered Bernese Alps. The tour runs on wide hiking trails, asphalt and forest roads.

The Mittelberg Tour starts with a crisp ascent over the gravel road towards Pension Sonnenberg. After this warm-up, we then continue at a more leisurely pace. The only thing from this point forward that will take your breath away will be the snow-capped peaks of the Jungfrau Massif! The alpine road leads past the Panorama Restaurant Allmendhubel. It continues along the hiking trail to Alp Oberberg. Grass and forest ground alternate constantly. The forest road back to Mürren closes the Mittelberg Loop.

From the south, the route leads over the Grimsel or Susten Pass into the region. Both passes are only open in summer. Alternatively, you can take the route via Simplon Pass and then use Lötschberg car transport.

In Lauterbrunnen, there is a covered car park, linked with the BLM cable car station. You may also drive to the Schilthornbahn station in Stechelberg where you will find a large number of parking spaces. 

The Lauterbrunnen car park is located at the outskirts of the village, just before the train station. Parking spaces can be reserved for a minimum of 5 days (winter) online.
