High Point

From Grindelwald the asphalt road winds its way up to Bussalp. Once at the top it's worth driving a few meters further to the viewpoint. A wonderful place to linger for a few minutes and enjoy the fantastic panorama.

The tour continues towards Rasthysi/Holenwang. The descent on the gravel road is easy and comfortable. Passing the Rasthysi the tour continues on the asphalt road up towards Nodhalten. Then on gravel road, forest path and cool single trails via Aellfluh back to Grindelwald.
