Challenge Tour: Riding Day 3-> Gstaad to Wengen

Riding day three takes us out of Saanenland and over into the Simmental, with an optional Gstaad detour for those who want the big valley views. From there it's deep into the boonies: 35 km of gravel through cattle country, past those enormous wooden farmhouses built on Simmental cow money, with a picnic somewhere along the way. We come out at Lake Thun for an easy, flat run down to Interlaken — then it's bikes parked at the Hotel Carlton, a train to the mountains, and a cogwheel climb up to car-free Wengen for the night. Practical tips on tickets, train platforms, e-bike chargers, and where to sit for the best Lauterbrunnen views are all in here. 70 km and 700 m of climbing — let's get started.
