Gemmenalphorn-Umrundung
Description
From Interlaken, head along the main road towards Beatenberg for the first few meters, but then turn right and climb up to the village of Habkern. The little road continues past the ski lift, later becomes a forest path and finally ends on the Grüeneberg Pass - almost exactly 1000 meters above the starting point of Interlaken. The striking Sieben-Hengste rock towers of the Solflue can be seen to the east, with the Gemmenalphorn to the left and the mountain peaks of the Bernese Oberland on the horizon opposite. The route now rides downhill on a small road for 550 meters to Innereriz, but then climbs again along the ridge of the Hornegggraben. On the Schöritzegg, there is finally a 200-metre climb to the Sichle Pass. The descent is as fun as it is spectacular: to the right, the rocky band of the Sigriswil Rothorn rises into the sky, to the left, the rugged cliffs of the Niederhornflue and the Gemmenalphorn. At the Grönhütte, a small road takes you up a little further. Shortly before reaching the top, this leads through a tunnel, where a small side exit offers a fantastic view of Lake Thun. The final section of the spectacular Gemmenalphorn circumnavigation leads from Schmocken (Beatenberg) to the lakeside road on Lake Thun and along it back to Interlaken.

Despite the high proportion of road, I really enjoyed this tour. I started in Eriz and the pushing passage to Sichle is ok. The trail down is short, then over asphalt roads to Interlaken and back up to Habkern. From the Grünenberg Pass, the bumpy and rough path down is really fun - be careful with sharp-edged stones.
