Day 4


1. Leaving Gstaad


2. No traffic bike paths


3. Taking a breather

4. Water. No problem.

5. En route to Interlaken

6. Our train to Wengen

After a short but steep climb out of town and a very long descent into Zweisimmen, it’s pastures and streams on densely packed gravel paths. We’ll be stopping from time to time to pet the cows and admire the monstrous family chalets. Take plenty of pictures: these traffic-free valleys are seldom seen by tourists.

You’ll spend the later part of the day riding the shores of Lake Thun before reaching Interlaken.  Once in the town of Interlaken, we'll leave our bikes behind and take a 45 minute cogwheel train ride 4,265 feet up to the alpine town of Wengen. As one of the most outstanding areas of beauty in the world, the Wengen area and it's hiking trails have been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Tomorrow we'll explore, but now it's time to relax.

We'll be staying two nights at a charming, turn-of-the-century hotel built in an Art Nouveau style.
