The classic two-wheeler with panoramic views of the lake and mountains.

Once around Lake Thun on two wheels? The circuit features roughly equivalent climbs and descents in both directions. This route is ideal for racing bikes, everyday bikes, and road e-bikes. From Spiez, the slightly downhill road to Thun offers the easier start. The approximately 49-kilometer route runs directly along the shore for about three-quarters of the distance. Between Därligen and Faulensee, there is a paved bike path between the highway and Lake Thun; otherwise, the route follows the main road, mostly with bike lanes. Those who want to add more climbs can make a detour via Aeschi, Beatenberg, Sigriswil, or Heiligenschwendi.
