Itinerary description
Lauterbrunnen Valley very scenic cliffs/ waterfalls/ green slopes. First part is fine- easy; up path and road then down the wanderweg- take care for walkers and yield right of way. Second section is a very steep climb up Schwendi. We contemplated going up to Gimmelwald but turned around at base of the steep hiking trail, it would be a hike-a-bike for maybe only ~200m though. Last section is not allowed for bikes (we thought red circle w/ bike in it was ok, north america would have a slash through it) but logs inset into trail for a stepped trail all the way down- it's actually pretty ridable (and pretty fun) for expert riders, hence the rating assigned, but probably better to avoid the trouble.
