Habkern Alpine Ride & Cheese Experience

Habkern Alpine Ride & Cheese Experience

Our adventure begins in the hidden farmers valley of Habkern, a peaceful corner of the Swiss Alps just above Interlaken. Here, time seems to move slower – cows graze in open pastures, wooden chalets line the hillsides, and sweeping mountain views set the stage for a truly authentic experience.

We start with a scenic 5 km e-bike loop through the valley, where the ride opens to panoramic views of Lake Thun and the Jungfrau massif. From here, a fun descent takes us into Habkern village, a traditional alpine settlement where the atmosphere feels untouched by modern tourism.

The journey continues with a 5 km climb followed by a short 15-minute alpine walk down to a family-run cheese farm at 1,470 meters. This is the highlight of our tour – stepping inside a working alpine dairy, seeing where the cheese is produced in the mornings, and tasting authentic Swiss mountain specialties. With a refreshing drink in hand, we take time to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of Habkern and the Hardergrat ridge.

Recharged, we enjoy a playful downhill ride back through the valley, where each turn reveals new perspectives of the forests and alpine meadows. For those interested, there’s also the chance to peek into a nearby Alphorn workshop, where Switzerland’s famous traditional horns are crafted (if open).

This e-bike tour is the perfect combination of scenic cycling, authentic Swiss culture, and local tradition – a hidden-gem adventure above Interlaken in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
