Lauberhorn-Trail
Description
From Grindelwald, follow the signposted mountain bike route (Alpine Bike) up to Kleine Scheidegg. The ascent initially leads along a paved mountain road, then turns into a gravel path after Brandegg and becomes increasingly steeper. Shortly before the Scheidegg, the path is so steep that many people have to push their bikes the last few meters to the top of the pass. At Kleine Scheidegg, you leave the official route and climb another section on a singletrail up to Rinderhitta. The backdrop here with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau is simply stunning.
Now it's time for the descent, which largely follows the famous Lauberhorn ski run. It leads as a single trail through the Hundschopf, past the water station and through Brüggli-S. At Haneggschuss, you return to the official route and follow it downhill for a while on an alpine road. After Innerallmend, however, you turn left again and reach Wengen on single trails past Schiltwald and Kneuweidli. The final descent into the Lauterbrunnen valley begins at Wengwald and zigzags down to the banks of the Lütschinen stream. Along this you reach Wilderswil and finally Interlaken.

The Männlichen cable cars are no longer riding at the moment. Therefore, for once, the Männlichen - Kleine Scheidegg hiking highway can be used without a guilty conscience. The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are right in front of you.
From Grindelwald at 'Engelshaus', simply ride straight on towards Männlichen. As long as there is no snow, it will stay that way.
Highly recommended trail with a unique mountain panorama. The effort of the ascent is soon forgotten.
For even more singletrail and less gravel road, it is worth turning left (southwest) at the ski lift after the Brüggli-S (marked Wykibort on the map) to the hiking trail junction at point 1664. Now follows a super singletrail (hiking trail) to Schiltwald/Innerwengen, where you come back to the original route described here.
Wow wow wow what a fantastic tour. One of my top ride tours. The panorama is unbeatable and the trail is simply great fun. At the end, a relaxed roll-out along the Lütschine to Interlaken. An absolute must go.

I rode the tour today (29.07.2018), great trails, great weather, few hikers and a fantastic backdrop!
But: approx. at km 14.1 / 2,050 m, which is approx. 500 m above Hundschopf, there is a 'No bikes' sign with a corresponding sign. Here I continued due to a lack of alternative routes, if they should put up such a sign at the beginning of the trail, not in the middle and after a few meters of descent...
A little further on, at about km 15.6 / 1,800 m, where a singletrail branches off from the gravel road, the same sign again. Here I continued on the gravel road, which is also quite OK and after approx. 1.8 km you come back to the tour.
I don't know if the signs are legally binding, I haven't read anything about a judicial ban. But they are professionally made (printed plastic signs on wooden posts), so they were probably not simply put up by a single alpine hiker.
Maybe someone knows more?
It would be a shame if you were no longer allowed to ride this great trail...
Rode it yesterday, hardly any hikers despite the vacation season, as we were late (~16:30) on the descent. Ascent rather 1200hm than 1370hm. Last part to Kleine Scheidegg and then from there to the highest point you have to push as it's steep and loose gravel unless you have thighs of steel. Descent especially at the top and again from Wengwald over great single trails. Some gravel roads in between, as you can see on the map. The panorama in front of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau is of course unbeatable. Then a quick swim in Interlaken to cool off. All in all a bomb.
