Helmet on, swing into the saddle, and zoom downhill: from Bern to Interlaken, mountain biker practice their latest tricks on the downhill routes.
The Canton of Bern is a paradise for downhill fans. Demanding routes lead through the middle of the countryside and offer numerous opportunities to optimise one’s riding style and accomplish new feats.
The Freeride Trail Sunnbüel to Kandersteg is fun for both beginners and experts. 25 jumps, twelve tables, and 105 banked curves provide plenty of space for exciting descents.

Interlaken calls: on the Bike Trail Schwanden-Brienz, mountain bikers speed over puddles, jumping hills, and ramps. Meanwhile, at Bikepark Wiriehorn, tired pump-track users can barbecue and camp.
The Grütsch Trail can be quickly reached from Lauterbrunnen by cable car. On three kilometres and 600 metres of altitude, crack downhill racers really step on it.
Enthusiastic mountain bikers are attracted from Magglingen onto the Biel Trail. Steep, stony sections alternate with flat, fast stretches. 15 jumping places of up to nine metres are the ideal locations for exciting tricks.
