Biking fun and views of the Bernese Oberland mountain peaks

During the summer season, you can hire scooter bikes at the Niederhornbahn’s middle station in Vorsass. The staff will equip you with the necessary equipment and helmet before you set off. The cable car takes you straight to Vorsass. Two different routes take you along unsurfaced and asphalt roads to the railway station in Beatenberg. It’s an unforgettable experience offering plenty of fun and action. Choose your own pace – leisurely or fast. The routes wind their way through verdant forests, passing lush meadows and gushing mountain streams on the way.
