The mountain station of the First is a beautiful destination for bikers if you have dared to climb over the Grosse Scheidegg. From here you can cycle to the Bachalp lake. Or simply enjoy the view in the sun on the restaurant terrace.

It's best to go during the week, when there are lots and lots of tourists. You'll need to allow more time for the walk to Bachalpsee, as there are almost no people on the trail.
