The bike tour from Lenk via the Trüttlsberg Pass is a tough nut to crack. As regards landscape, this tour eclipses all others. But as regards technique and fitness, it is almost of Olympic standard. Some 2,000 meters of difference in altitude want to be conquered and they are sprinkled with technical challenges. The section Betelberg via Stübleni to Trüttlisberg Pass is truly tough. As tempting as the landscape may be, while riding this section of the tour, your focus has of necessity to be only on the trail. Be very careful! The second part of the tour takes you down to Gstaad and back to the Hornberg Mountain, before you return to Lenk. Sensational!
