For families, we offer our Interlaken tour:
- The 3-hour morning tour of Interlaken: easy, also suitable for beginners; Lake Thun, farm visit, the old town of Unterseen, historic Wilderswil and Bönigen, Lake Brienz. Total distance: approx. 20 km / 12 miles.
The Interlaken Tour is suitable both for younger children who cannot yet ride a bike on their own ( https://www.flyingwheels.ch/velo-vermietung?kategorie=Kinder-%20und%20Familienfahrr%C3%A4der ) and for children and teens who can already ride a bike safely. For children, we offer child seats (one child, max. 20 kg, max. 8 years old) or a child trailer (up to two children, total max. 40 kg); see here. Teenagers under 16 are not allowed to ride e-bikes in Switzerland. If your teenagers are in good shape, they can easily participate on a regular bike without an electric motor.
The 3-hour Interlaken tour is mostly flat, but includes one short climb. Since the tour is often booked by adults riding e-bikes, the short climb isn’t a problem. If children are coming along, it’s important that they ride bikes regularly so they don’t slow down the group. The pace of our tours is generally leisurely, so children who are good riders have always been able to keep up easily (most of the time, they’re even faster than the adults 🙂).
Unfortunately, children who still need training wheels cannot participate in a guided tour. These children must be transported in a child seat (max. 20 kg) or in a child trailer.
