The mountain railway route for more advanced mountain bikers. With the help of three mountain railways, you discover a diverse trail offer that includes some tricky sections. Especially the trail from Obere Stutz to Oberbort and the final Simmegrund trail require good line choice.

The trails on the Rinderberg and Wispile are often also used by hikers, especially in good weather. Make sure to ride the trails as early as possible (9:30 - 10:45) or late (15:30 - 16:30) to have the most fun. Use considerate riding behavior and observe the "Share the trail" rules.

    The Gstaad holiday region lies in the southwest of Switzerland, directly on the border with the French-speaking part of the country. The region is easily accessible by train or car from the Thun lake region, the Geneva lake area, and the Gruyère region. Direct connections to the European high-speed train network and to all international airports in Switzerland guarantee a time-saving and pleasant journey.
