Trail tip for the weekend: from Lauterbrunnen via the Rotstockhütte

If you've had enough of the rain, you can look forward to the weekend all the more: summer is returning and bringing good biking weather, ideal for the tour via the Rotstockhütte, starting and finishing in Lauterbrunnen - one of the best bike tours in the Jungfrau region.

Thanks to the gondola lift, the start of the tour from Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalp is a leisurely one. From there, the ascent begins under your own steam, first riding along the gravel road and then carrying your bike the last 200 meters up to Wasenegg. Now it's downhill: the trail to the Rotstockhütte is unparalleled fun, as is the subsequent descent into the Sefinental valley, albeit a little rougher at times. Then it's uphill again to Gimmelwald, where you can treat yourself to another gondola lift to Mürren and then head back to Lauterbrunnen via the familiar singletrail descent.
