The tour takes you through one of the most breathtaking alpine valleys in Switzerland – the Lauterbrunnen Valley, often referred to as the "Valley of 72 Waterfalls." The very first glimpse of the narrow valley, framed by steep cliffs with dramatic cascading waterfalls, lush green meadows, and traditional chalets, is simply stunning.
With Flying Wheels’ high-quality e-bikes, you glide effortlessly and eco-friendly through the alpine landscape, passing roaring waterfalls like the Staubbach Falls and the Trümmelbach Falls – the latter a hidden natural wonder inside the mountain. And not to be forgotten: our famous Swiss Picnic!
