August 10, 2024,Eigerbike Challenge Marathon 50 km

Now the day had come for the 50km marathon at the Eigerbike Challenge. The preparations in the last few weeks made me very positive. In 2021 I had to drag myself to the finish line because of stomach problems. I definitely didn't want to experience that again.

August 24, 2022,Nachfahrt Eiger Bike-Challenge

In 2021 I completed the Eiger Bike Challenge with the Bio Bike. Even then I found the panorama amazing, although enjoying it was a bit neglected. So I really wanted to do this tour again, as did my father. So we went on the tour with the e-bikes. The mountains and the panorama are constant companions. It's unbelievable how lucky …

The tour started in Burglauenen, where there is free parking. From there, we continued along the Schwarzen Lütschine to Grindelwald. Then the constant climb to the Grosse Scheidegg began with an elevation difference of 1000 meters.

The destination, the Bachalpsee, was reached after a total of 1500 meters of elevation. I was particularly excited about the trail from the Bachalpsee …

August 30, 2023,Bike and Hike von Grindelwald über den Bachalpsee mit Faulhorn

Weather improvement was predicted. That was true at the beginning and at the end. But unfortunately again no comprehensive panoramic view of Bachalpsee. But 30 cm of snow on the Faulhorn summit 2,680m. Overall, a very nice tour that could be done entirely by e-bike except for the last 340 meters up to the Faulhorn and only the rest on …

I had planned the tour to the Bachalpsee for this summer for a long time. However, for various reasons it somehow didn't work out. That was different for today, the weather forecast for Grindelwald was great, it was during the week and I had time. I also shared this plan at our TPE Zyschtigstreff and spontaneously found a motivated companion …

October 29, 2024,Mountainbike-Tour zum Bachalpsee

Today, in glorious autumn weather, I was finally able to do the tour to Bachalpsee. I was accompanied by Urs, who was almost a local and knows all the trails in the area. So we had a great descent with slight detours and an aperitif at Salvi's at the end.

August 8, 2024,Burglauenen - Grindelwald - Grosse Scheidegg - Bachalpsee - Faulhorn (2'681 MüM)

For the first six kilometers I follow a trail along the "Schwarze Lütschine". From Grindelwald the mountain road leads for around ten kilometers to the Grosse Scheidegg. I follow the gravel path, later the somewhat narrower hiking trail to the First, later to the Bachalpsee. Now comes the climb to the Faulhorn mountain restaurant. The path is very steep in …

As is typical for us, we headed towards Große Scheidegg in 25 degrees in the shade and in the bright sun. The view was a dream, the climb that day was a nightmare. When we arrived at the inn, exhausted, we were given 1.5 liters of Rivella for each of us, which was gone after 10 minutes. The landlord was …
