    Hi Jwatson8,

    Yes, there is a bicycle path between the two towns, crossing the Rosenlaui Valley. It’s part of stage 2 of the regional long-distance Berner Oberland route: https://schweizmobil.ch/en/cycling-in-switzerland/route-61/stage-2. The route is mostly paved, with a total of 5 km of unpaved natural paths.

    Note that this isn’t an easy route, with considerable ascending/descending.

    I hope this answers your question!
