In summer, there’s no better way to explore the trails than on a bike.

The Gasthaus Waldspitz is ideally located on a number of trails and is the perfect place to stop and recharge before continuing on your journey.

Many trails begin in the town of Grindelwald and pass by the Waldspitz, however if you wish to save the long uphill ride, there are also easy options to transport your bike to our door. Grindelwald Bus 127 operates daily in the summer months, bringing you and your bike from Grindelwald to our door – where you can begin your trails. From here, ride to Bachalpsee, Bussalp or back down to Grindelwald.

If you're on an e-bike, you can recharge your bike while you recharge yourself on our terrace or in our restaurant!

Or take your bike up the First gondola and begin your ride from First top station along the beautiful Bachalpsee trail.
