The Mittelberg is a mountain pass near the language border with western Switzerland. To the north, it descends to Abländschen at the foot of the magnificent Gastlosen mountain range, while to the south, the Grischbach Valley awaits. While the pass is paved, there are various trails for mountain bikers to choose from in various directions.

Southern Ascent to Mittelberg

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

A small valley that is wonderful to cycle through, which connects Saanen with the back of the Jaunpass.

The gradient starts off gently along the river (around 4%), but then increases sharply in the last third (> 12%). You should manage your energy carefully here.

Up in the Abländschen you have a wonderful view.

Gestelen Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Absolutely magnificent but steep, even very steep in places, especially in the part in the forest. Fortunately 1-2 km on the flat allows you to breathe a little. The coating is very good, some bovi-stops. Almost no traffic. There is a bakery at the bottom of the pass, at the very beginning. And in the old school, self-service selectas, as well as WCs (0.50.- to be paid via Twint or cash) as well as a fountain next to the cemetery. Very convenient :)

Even slope, good sweeping rhythm. Take pictures of the great view, at the top of the pass no view of the valley!

View of the Gastlosen from Jaunpass

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Jaun Pass stands out as a road bike climb not because of its particular difficulty or gradient, but above all because of the beauty of the landscape it traverses. If you approach it from Jaun, you'll say goodbye to Fribourg and then hello to the idyllic Simmental valley. The Gastlosen mountain range also plays a very important role in the region.
