The Tungelschuss waterfall plunges roaring water from the Tungelbach stream over several cascades into the depths – particularly spectacular after snowmelt.

The viewing point on the western shore of Lake Lauenen, about 400m from the parking lot, offers a clear view of the waterfall – often accompanied by a loud roar.

🥾 Hike & Access
Access: From the parking lot at Lake Lauenen, a well-marked hiking trail takes about 5–10 minutes to the observation point.

A popular circular hike (approximately 9–12km, 3–5 hours) connects Lake Lauenen, Tungelschuss, Geltenschuss, and the Geltenhütte SAC – a moderately difficult hike with an elevation gain of around 700m.

📌 Facts at a Glance
Altitude approx. 1430m above sea level. M.
Distance from the parking lot to the waterfall observation point: approx. 400 m
Hiking route: Circular route with Geltenschuss and Geltenhütte possible
Duration: Circular route: approx. 3–5 hours, moderate difficulty (T2–T3)
