The essentials at a glance

Mountain biking tour through the Vaud Alps from Frutigen to Aigle. Moderate difficulty with daily ascents between 605-1,195m and descents up to 1,810m. Highlights include Hahnenmoos Pass with mountain panorama, scenic trails through meadows and forests in remote valleys, Col des Mosses pass, and Lac des Chavonnes mountain lake. Daily luggage transfers, navigation app, and SwitzerlandMobility-Plus subscription included.

A wonderful conclusion

This Alpine mountain bike trail is the premier route in SwitzerlandMobility’s network. It is stunning, yet challenging and demanding. The final stages lead from the Bernese Oberland to the Saanenland. Magnificent farmhouses in Zweisimmen, followed by flowing green hills and majestic mountains. The wooden chalets of Gstaad and Saanen alternate with the stone buildings of Château-d’Oex.

Take a moment to catch your breath and then it’s time for the final spurt. After a short detour to the Gruyère Pays-d’Enhaut Nature Park, a visit to Les Diablerets in western Switzerland follows. Even as this tour draws to a close, the jagged mountains, lush green meadows and quick descents come thick and fast.

This is a relatively easy conclusion to the Alpine Bike Trail. The last two stages lead down into the Rhône Valley along Route 68. Each stage includes longer sections that require a good level of fitness. Technically, there are no particularly difficult passages.
