14th Red Bull Alpenbrevet

• 05. Oct. 2024 from 10:00 o'clock

On Saturday, October 5, the 14th edition of the now legendary Red Bull Alpenbrevet moped race will take place. The starting signal is given at 10 a.m. in the JungfrauPark Interlaken. There are 1400 starting places for motorcyclists to join in. This year, for the first time, you can choose between a morning tour with around 52 kilometers and 1200 meters of elevation gain and a day tour with around 135 kilometers and 2700 meters of elevation gain. The route takes you past Lakes Thun and Brienz and brings you into close contact with the mountain giants of the Bernese Oberland.

When cafe racers, choppers, bobbers and scramblers - or simply "Töfflis" - are polished to a shine in the garages, lovingly styled and engines and brakes are maintained; when packing lists with oil measuring cups for mixing the two-stroke mixture, a change of clothes, pocket knives, repair kits and tools are being worked on; when moped lovers and bikers feel butterflies in their stomachs and get their best moped outfits out of the wardrobe, then it's time to get going: On the passes, get set, go - the Red Bull Alpenbrevet is here!

The two-stroke bikes will be challenged on the circuit and have to prove that they are up to even the steepest passes in the Bernese Oberland. This year, the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau will bear witness to the almost legendary moped tour, now in its 14th edition. 1400 Töfflimeitlis and -buebe can join in the cruise! The focus is on having fun. Because the winner of the excursion ride is not the fastest, but the one who comes closest to the average time of all participants. This popular event guarantees fantastic pictures. The motorcycle highlight of the year is not only a platform for individualists, but also traditionally takes place in a breathtaking Swiss mountain landscape. The two-stroke community glides through the hilly landscape, over mountain passes, past rivers and forests, putting a smile on many faces with its vibe. The riders enjoy the feeling, share their common fascination for old and new motorcycles and come up with lots of ideas for their two-strokes and their own look to leave a lasting impression.

Through the Bernese Oberland at the perfect speed
The beauty of the Bernese Oberland is discovered at the perfect 30-kilometer-per-hour pace: the route leads from Interlaken in the morning along Lake Thun and then back to the JungfrauPark Interlaken festival site. Those who have booked the day tour can look forward to the onward journey with views of Lake Brienz and close encounters with mountain giants.

JungfrauPark Interlaken festival site
The motorcycle stronghold of the Red Bull Alpenbrevet is located at the foot of the Harder Kulm, Interlaken's local mountain, in the famous, infamous JungfrauPark. Where Erich von Däniken once initiated the
Mistery Park, the slow-ride community and interested members of the public come together to pay homage to motorcycles. On the festival grounds, visitors and participants can take part in various activities, enjoy musical entertainment and food stands as well as an after-party. A visit is worthwhile if only to be inspired by the impressive diversity of Töfflis and Töfflimeitli and -buebe.
