This 42-kilometre loop route begins in Lützelflüh with a climb up a ridge with views of the Alps and the Jura. Then simply follow the signposting for route 99 and soon you’ll arrive at the Emmental Show Dairy in Affoltern, a good place to stop for a snack. The tour then continues toward Ferrenberg and Route 899. On the way back, you’ll ride through the rolling hills of the Emmental valley and past stately traditional farmhouses. For the last bit, follow the river Emme from Lochbach Oberburg back to Lützelflüh on Route 24. The Ferrenberg loop is a wonderful combination of everything: physical activity, relaxing moments, and impressive nature.
