The Schrattenfluh from all sides - what a sight. The challenging tour offers a few crisp passages, but these can be bypassed. You will be rewarded in between with fine enjoyment stops so that you have enough energy for the whole route. The tour starts in Sörenberg and first takes you through the beautiful Junkholz/Gloggenmatt moorland before the first ascent towards the Hilfere Pass awaits you in Flühli. From the pass, you continue towards Dorbach. From here, there are some steeper sections, which you can avoid - see "Safety instructions". On this passage up to Alp Imbrig, you have a fantastic view of the jagged rocks of the Schrattenfluh - a rather unusual, but super beautiful view of this mountain. Perfect for enjoying your snack to go. Shortly after "Unter Lochsite", you cross the border into the canton of Bern and head towards Bumbach. From here, it's not far to the legendary Kemmeriboden-Bad. Here you will be rewarded with another enjoyable stop and can charge your e-bike in the meantime. Because you'll need more power (or your e-bike) for the final ascent. After the rest stop, head up via Chüblisbüel and Schneeberg towards Salwideli. And now a short stretch down to the Hotel Rischli, where the last indulgence stop awaits you with a sweet finish.
