Stockental bike playground

You won't find this area on any trail map. It is not exactly one specific trail either. Stockental (Stocken Valley) is approx. 10 kilometres from either Thun or Spiez. I recommend buying a 1:25'000 scale map of "Thun". On there you will notice quite a lot of gravel trails along the first mountain range. There are simply to many tracks to point out a major one.

BBQ mountain bike combo

Here a lazy option for a hot summer day (...or romantic evening). Along the rivers Kander (between Kandersteg-Thun), Simme (between Boltigen-Wimmis) and Aare (between Thun-Bern) you find plenty of cosy spots to grill a few sausages and enjoy a few drinks. Personally, I like the area, where Simme and Kander meet. Not only can you get there following a lovely single trail, but it is also wild area reminding me of Canadian wilderness. Ideal for a BBQ bike lover's combo.

You will always find enough wood to make a decent fire. The rivers are quite rough and cold, so if you fancy swimming, I would recommend Aare or Lake Thun.

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!
