This is our first long ride in Switzerland. It is a 44 mile loop starting and ending in Meiringen, Switzerland, where our campground is located. The first 10 miles is a very steep uphill (+10% grades) to Schwarzwaldalp, no cars allowed on the upper section of road which is one lane paved through alpine tundra. Stunning scenery with hanging glaciers and views of the Wetterhorn, Eiger, and Jungfrau. The lower half of the loop from Interlaken and back to Meiringen is a bike path traversing above the Brienzersee.  Some tough hills on this section and on gravel too. Bring your energy because it’s not a long ride, but it is challenging. Definitely a top-ten euro road ride.
