Lauterbrunnen and Trummelbach Waterfalls E-bike Tour Swiss Picnic
Description
The Lauterbrunnen E-Bike Tour with Flying Wheels is a true highlight for nature lovers and leisure travelers. 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 Mountain Picnic! Everything is included in the price. Experienced guides from Flying Wheels enrich the tour with fascinating stories and ensure that every participant enjoys a safe and joyful ride. This tour is very unique and an exceptional experience. Promised!

Itinerary
We start in the center of Interlaken at Höheweg 133, at the Flying Wheels bike shop (return point is as well here)
A church from 12th century, a ancient wooden bridge having withstood floodings since centuries, and some old wooden chalets dating bach to 16th century: this stop is a true gem on our way to Lauterbrunnen
The guided e-bike tour takes you to Lauterbrunnen and into the amazing Valley of 72 Waterfalls
Lauterbrunnen's landmark and Switzerland's highest freefalling waterfall is a stop that will leave it's impression on you!
Our famous Swiss picnic is one of the highlights of our e-bike tour! Unlike other tour operators, who give you either no or only cheap picnic options, we treat you with high-quality local food like homemade sausage, genuine alp cheese, fresh bread from a local bakery etc. Of course vegeterian or vegan options are available on request. We'll serve this picnic in a wonderful spot in the middle of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, with views you won't believe. Don't miss this delicious picnic!
In Lauterbrunnen we will visit the mighty Truemmelbach Waterfalls inside the mountain, where up to 20,000 litres of water per second are thundering through the narrow gorge.
On the way back from Lauterbrunnen, we´ll visit Lake Brienz, a turquoise-green dream sourced by glacier water. We pedal back from there to Flying Wheels along the crystal-clear Aare river.

George was a wonderful guide - we had a beautiful day exploring the region. He was patient and fun and shared such interesting information as we went along. Highly highly recommend this trip!!
Such a wonderful place and wonderful village in Switzerland one of the most beautiful village in Switzerland must say wonderful place
Our guide was absolutely fantastic. Despite being dealt a terrible hand with the weather, he remained positive, professional, and did everything he could to make the experience enjoyable. He deserves a lot of credit for his attitude and efforts throughout the tour. As an example- the torrential downpour's only apparent upside was that the falls were incredible and more forceful than he'd ever seen in years. His excitement over this was infectious in a good way. Unfortunately, the company itself was disappointing. We were sent out in terrible weather. They delayed the tour due to the weather and then told us their system said weather was improving. We questioned this as we could clearly see online that worse weather was scheduled. In the end, most of our ride was in a torrential downpour, and at no point were we offered the option to reschedule or postpone for better weather conditions. Instead, we felt pressured to continue with the tour despite the conditions being unpleasant and, at times, potentially unsafe. An e-bike tour is supposed to be an enjoyable experience, and the weather made that nearly impossible. It felt as though the company was prioritizing keeping the booking and collecting payment over providing a quality customer experience. When we returned (the weather improved at the very end), they commended us on being 'the only group to complete the tour that day'- which makes me think the others came back part way in a van. I want to be clear that this review is not a reflection of our guide, who was exceptional. My concerns are with the company's decision-making and lack of flexibility in handling severe weather conditions. In the future I hope the tour company is more upfront about giving people an option to reschedule.
Hi Jessica Thanks for leaving your review. Well, what you describe as "the company was prioritizing keeping the booking and collecting payment over providing a quality customer experience" is the opposite of what we actually do in reality and what we did on the tour you took part. Firstly: you are correct with saying, that the weather didn't develop like we anticipated it. Still, if the probability of rain is high, we always ask, if the customers still want to take part or if they want to cancel. And we only ask this, if it is possible to start the tour. If the rain is too strong or can get too strong, we cancel the tour and provide a full refund. And if you cancel because of heavy rain, we refund you as well. Exact this happened to some other participants we had on that day: after they decided not to cancel right from the start, the guide and them decided in the middle of the tour to stop. We picked them up by van and refunded 50%. I spoke to your guide (Marceau) and he said, that you were informed several times about your cancellation options: 1) before the tour started, Marceau asked all of you (3 in your party and 1 other couple),if you want to start in the rain. All agreed to start, including you and your family 2) when during the tour it turns out that the weather in fact got worst than expected, Marceau asked you at least two more times to stop the tour: firstly after like 1 hour in Zweilütschinen, and then again after the visit to the Trümmelbach Waterfalls. Nobody wanted to cancel, again. Now I see your review. Marceau, when I talked to him before I wrote this reply, had a 100% clear remembrance of that day (he even remebered all you names, just BTW), and he told me what I put in writing here in my reply. As the owner I define the procedures on how to act in case of bad weather. Marceau and in generral all our guides stick to this procedures, and Marceau did exact what he is supposed to do in case of bad weather. The bottom line is: you were offered not only once to cancel the tour, but you all decided to continue. Marceau was quite surprised resp. disappointed to learn, what you wrote here in this review. Just one more detail from my end: we tried to reschedule your tour, but there was no match between the possible alternative days with free spots, and your vacation schedules, hence there was no alternative dates. Again: we followed our standard procedures, but rescheduling didn't work. Hence you all decided to do the tour on the booked day, although you were offered to cancel at least 3 times, at the beginning, after 1 hour and after the visit to the Trümmelbach Falls. There were other parties going on our guided tours that day. My guides asked them, if they want to start (they all wanted) and to stop the tour in the light of the strong rain. Some wanted to stop and we picked them resp. the e-bikes up and refunded part of the tour price. Other ones continued. This decision is always a personal decision per guest and we support every single person in his/her decision to either continue or stop. And again: if the weather is really bad (thunder, lightning, hail etc.) we don´t even start the tours and refund everybody. Marceau will write you a message (you exchanged telephone numbers) to ask again, why you wrote this review in the way you wrote it. Anyways, I hope you enjoy your weekend and you still keep the tour in good memories. Best regards Frank
This tour definitely was one of the best I have done in Interlaken, the tour guide was so lovely and accommodating. We were explained what to do and if we needed assistance. We had a lovely lunch which was well deserved after ridding! Definitely recommend to book!!!!
We had a wonderful time on our tour with our guide Marsous. He was very personable and flexible to make sure we all saw what we wanted to. The sights were amazing as was a picnic lunch he prepared. I would recommend this tour to all, but just keep in mind you do need a moderate level of fitness.
George was an excellent and attentive guide. He kept the group cohesive and safe. He shared his knowledge of the area in a delightful way and prepared a very nice lunch for us all.
George was fantastic! He was an entertaining and informative guide with lots of knowledge. The bikes were a lot of fun, but I didn't realize how much effort an eBike still required! It was a great time all the way around.
George was great. Our day started off with some rain but the bike company was prepared with rain gear. We loved our whole day. Would highly recommend.
This bike experience through Lauterbrunnen Valley was a highlight of our trip! Our guide George was friendly & knowledgeable, and the ride was easy on the ebikes. I would recommend this trip for the traveler who wants to get a little movement on their trip, but it's not rigorous. Beautiful way to spend a day!
Beautiful day for a ride. Marceau was a great guide as we biked through the valley. The picnic lunch was perfect for the day. Definitely a top tour in my book as you will never see anything as beautiful.
