About Flying Wheels Interlaken
Flying Wheels is Interlaken's dedicated bike rental and e-bike tour specialist, occupying a prime spot on the Höheweg — the town's main boulevard that stretches between its two train stations with the Jungfrau massif as a backdrop. Operating since 2010, they have carved out a niche as the go-to provider for guided e-bike excursions into the valleys surrounding Interlaken, particularly the famous Lauterbrunnen Valley with its 72 waterfalls and dramatic cliff-walled scenery.
The rental fleet spans e-bikes, mountain bikes, city bikes, and family-friendly options including child seats and trailers. All rentals include helmets, locks, and route maps. The guided tours are the real draw, though — small-group e-bike rides led by knowledgeable local guides wind through car-free paths along the Aare River, past traditional Swiss farms, and into postcard-perfect villages like Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. Tours are designed for riders of all fitness levels thanks to the electric pedal assist, and typically include stops at scenic viewpoints and local cafés.
What makes Flying Wheels particularly appealing is the low barrier to entry: e-bikes flatten the hills that might otherwise discourage casual cyclists, making the spectacular Bernese Oberland landscape accessible to virtually anyone. Their central Höheweg location means you can pick up a bike steps from either train station and be riding along Lake Brienz or towards the Jungfrau region within minutes. For visitors who want to explore beyond the town without a car, Flying Wheels offers one of the most enjoyable ways to do it.
