Mountain biking & e-biking in Wengen

Over Kleine Scheidegg and down into the Lauterbrunnen valley: Wengen lies on one of Switzerland’s great bike routes.

The national Alpine Bike route crosses Kleine Scheidegg and runs through Wengen down to Lauterbrunnen – with almost 1,400 metres of descent. In the valley, the Mürren Bike loop awaits.

We equip you for the tour: with sports eyewear, technical clothing, backpacks and gloves. Before you ride, check bike transport and trail conditions with the mountain railways and Wengen Tourism.
