Here's an official website for bike paths: https://map.veloland.ch/?lang=de&pho...ayers=Veloland
However, you can generally ride on any paved road. Many roads in the alps are off limits to vehicles without permission and those are the best! Just yesterday, I rode up to the Rigi (well, just half way but today I'm going the full Monty) and besides a few alplers coming down in their jeeps, everyone was hiking or biking. I went by lush fields of green dotted with spring alpine flowers, rushing waterfalls whose mist covered the road and just the most tremendous views of alps, lakes and even my hometown.
And this was all just in a two-hour bike ride starting from my home.

There's one bike path that has come to me highly recommended and I'll let you in on the secret. Take a look at the website and find path number 63. The path starts in Meiringen and continues to Grindelwald. That's supposed to be quite a stunning ride. I believe you can also ride up to the Kleine Scheidegg by bike and then go down to Wengen.
The bike shop will have good suggestions and possibly even maps for you to use to help you decide which bike paths you'd like to take.
