Modern scooter bikes with extra-wide footrests, disc brakes and suspension can be hired directly from the top station of the Betelberg gondola lift on the Leiterli. The downhill route leads from the mountain station first over gravel roads, then over asphalt roads towards the valley.

A first highlight awaits after a short ride at the Leiterli reservoir on the Agematte. The artificial lake serves as a water reservoir for snowmaking in winter. In summer, it is a place to stretch your feet on a bench and marvel at the mountain panorama of the Wildstrubel range. A short visit to the Murmeli building, which is modeled on the home of the cute alpine dwellers, is definitely worthwhile.

The route continues on the road down into Pöschenried - a side valley between Lenk and Iffigenalp. Several bends, past mountain huts and alpine meadows await on this section. The imposing Iffig Falls can be seen from time to time through the treetops.

In Pöschenried, the road flattens out and meanders along the Iffigbach towards the village of Lenk. You pass beautiful chalets and other farms on the way to your destination. After the last forest section, turn left and return the scooter bike at the valley station of the gondola lift.

  • Approach

    By car via Zweisimmen to Lenk. At the traffic circle in the center of the village, drive towards the valley station of the Betelberg gondola lift.

  • Take the train via Zweisimmen to Lenk. On foot or by local bus to the valley station of the Betelberg cable car. Take the Betelberg cable car from Lenk to the Leiterli mountain station.

  • Ample free parking at the valley station of the gondola lift.

  • There is oncoming traffic on the roads. Watch your speed and be ready to brake at all times. Adapt your riding behavior to the weather conditions (wet) and the surface (gravel). It is compulsory to wear a helmet. The impressive mountain scenery is best admired when stationary.

    • Scooters on the Betelberg are only permitted for those aged 12 and over and with a minimum height of 125 cm
    • Children up to the age of 16 may only ride a scooter when accompanied by an adult
    • Only 1 person per scooter bike (children may not ride a scooter with an adult)
  • Clothing adapted to the weather is required. Take the wind into account. The helmet is included in the rental price of the scooter bike.

  • At the back of Pöschenried, it is worth taking a short detour on foot to the Iffig Falls, where the masses of water cascade into the valley.
