Ride Through 72 Waterfalls & Eat Lunch Inside a Mountain Valley

You ride an e-bike from Interlaken through Lauterbrunnen Valley, stop for a quality Swiss picnic with local cheese and bread in the middle of the waterfalls, enter the Trümmelbach Falls inside the mountain, and return past glacier-fed Lake Brienz. The guide handles the route and stories; the e-bike handles the climbs; you handle the scenery and the meal.

The Experience

You start at the Flying Wheels shop on Höheweg 133 in central Interlaken, where the guide fits you to an e-bike and runs through a quick riding test—it's not a formality, they take it seriously because this is an intermediate tour and the terrain demands it. Then you're off, gliding uphill without the burn, past a 12th-century church and an ancient wooden bridge that's survived centuries of flooding. The valley opens up as you ride, and suddenly you're in Lauterbrunnen, framed by cliffs so steep they seem to lean inward, with water pouring down from everywhere at once.

The Staubbach Falls drift like powder as you pass underneath, and then you stop for the Swiss Mountain Picnic—and this is where the tour separates itself from the rest. Not a sad sandwich in a plastic box, but homemade sausage, genuine alp cheese, fresh bread from a local bakery, and whatever vegetarian or vegan option you've requested, all laid out in the middle of the valley with views that don't quit. You eat slowly here because you're supposed to. After lunch, the guide takes you into the Trümmelbach Waterfalls, a hidden wonder carved inside the mountain itself where up to 20,000 liters of water per second thunder through a narrow gorge—you walk through tunnels blasted into the rock to get close to it, and the sound is enormous and real.

The ride back takes you past Lake Brienz, that turquoise-green glacier-fed water that looks almost unreal, and then you pedal along the crystal-clear Aare river back to the shop. The whole thing runs around four hours, and you can refill your water bottle with glacier water along the way. The e-bikes do the heavy lifting on the climbs, so it's not a fitness test—it's a ride through one of the most dramatic valleys in the Alps, and you actually get to see it instead of just breathing hard.
