Riding high – from Brienz to Axalp

This tour starts at Brienz railway station. After leaving the picturesque village of Brienz behind, the approach to the challenging ascent alongside Lake Brienz awaits. This first section is the only flat part of the tour. The subsequent section leads in a constant ascent to Axalp, which lies at 1535 m.a.s.l. The asphalted road winds its way through forested stretches and lush meadows, where traditional alp huts and beautiful chalets adorn the landscape. The sweat, exertion and your heavy legs will fade into the background while you soak up the lovely scenery.  Our tip: extend your ride to the Hilten mountain restaurant (1706 m.a.s.l), which is perched atop a hill above Axalp. Take in the unrivalled views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Brienz. Recharge your batteries with a tasty rösti and a refreshing drink before you embark on the descent back to Brienz along the same route.
