Tips

Cycling

Short stretch of gravel, about 200m-300m, the rest is asphalt or concrete. No problem going up and down with a gravel bike or mountain bike. Racers with 30 or 28 should also be fine, but probably not with an aero racer. But it is certainly a good alternative to the main pass road. Up in the forest the surface is asphalt with grit and a few holes, just watch where you are going. Absolutely traffic-free and beautiful scenery.

It's much nicer to hike up the mountain to the Brünig Pass than to take the main road. At the top, before the pass, there was a tented lunch with cake and beer. ;.)
