After riding visiting the beautiful Reichenbach falls, you can add-on this fun scooter ride down the mountain.

To reach the scooter ride, you ride a funicular to the falls viewpoint, famous as the setting for Sherlock Holmes death in the books.

Then you do a short hike up to the top of the falls, where you'll find a restaurant with a beautiful view over the Haslital valley. You can pick up the scooters here. Then ride 3km down a marked path back to your starting point, part on a paved road and part on a dirt/gravel path.

Cost

In most cases, you'll buy the combo ticket that includes one-way up the funicular train and your scooter rental. In 2024, this costs CHF 25/adult, CHF 22/child. You can't buy these tickets online or reserve a spot.

Open: May through October

Location: funicular parking Reichenbach 8, 3860 Schattenhalb, bus stop

Other things to do

It’s a short activity, so you may to combine this with the nearby Aare Gorge. Then go get the traditional meringue and cream dessert in the nearby village Meiringen, perhaps at Restaurant Rössli.
