Enjoy the scenic descent along the panorama route to Torrentalp. The Velogemel is a unique combination of bike and sled – a true original from the Bernese Oberland. With a wooden frame, handlebars, and runners, it offers pure driving fun.
Experience winter in a whole new way – with the cult Velogemel, now also in the Leukerbad destination on Torrent! On the panorama route from the Rinderhütte to Torrentalp, you always have the magnificent views over the Rhone Valley and to the four-thousanders of the Valais Alps in sight. With the Velogemel, you glide through the snowy landscape, steer like on a bicycle, and enjoy the feeling of freedom – on two runners.
Author’s recommendation
Take time again and again to enjoy the beautiful view, or warm up at the middle station in the Briand restaurant with a hot drink.
