On the Laupen time loop, time stands still or perhaps passes more quickly:  Either way, e-bikers are inspired along the route to consciously take time to explore the beautiful Laupen region.

Start the Laupen time loop in the small town of Laupen. Ride your own bike or hire an e-bike from Rent a Bike at Bären Laupen and cycle along the Sense to the adventure site in Neuenegg, where the Bernese Plateau is themed. If you get hungry, there are plenty of inns along the route with delicious menus made from local produce. The onward journey to Bären Oberbottigen takes around thirty minutes. At the next adventure point in Niederwangen, e-bikers are invited to take a break on the bench next to the stele and reflect on the passage of time.

The route continues towards the Mädersforst adventure centre, where e-bikers are invited to spend time on the bench next to the stele and learn more about Bernese-German words with a French twist. Just before Laupen, the panoramic Chutze is a great place to rest and savour the moment. Here, those with a thirst for knowledge can learn more about Anna Seiler, a wealthy young Bernese woman of the time.
