Mountain Biking along River Kander


What is the difference between a very nice mountain bike area a great mountain bike area? Well, I would say, it is the people or better the lack of people. The less bikers, hikers and other folks, the better. And that is why I don't tell you where this is. However, I might tell you, if you ask on an individual basis... :-)

Diemtigen Mountain Bike Tour


Here my first mountain bike teaser. From Thun along Glütschbach (creek), at Hani go down to river Kander, where you'll find some great single trails along the river bank. Wimmis to Diemtigen along river Simme, then uphill to Diemtigbärgli and Ägelsee (pond), then take hiking trail down to Erlenbach. Fairly steep, watch the rain ditches. Rock n' roll baby!

Outdootlunatics go live

Greatful every day to live in a great Swiss outdoor area, so why not share our experiences with anyone interested in outdoor activities around the world. Why do we do it? Travel guides in general are driven by commercial forces and need to publish what mainstreamers are after, as only this sells and brings profit. Real off the beaten track hints are very rare and hard to find. That's why we aim at posting travel and adventure tips and ideas from our region - mainly the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland - for other outdoor maniacs. We hope you like it and are happy to hear your comments!
