The Gehrihore lies at 2130 meters and offers a magnificent view toward Frutigen and the peaks beyond. On the other side, you can see Lake Thun all the way into the Kiental valley. And of course, you can also see several high Bernese peaks toward the main Alpine ridge. 👍🏻

On both sides of the summit, there are secured passages on the hiking trail that leads above it.

At the foot of the mountain is a parking lot. Ascent from there about 2-3 hours depending on condition.

A short but steep tour with a magnificent finale: Sunset on the Gehrihorn – with views of the Kandertal, Niesen, Blüemlisalp & all the way to the Jura 🌞🏔️

🥾 Tour information
Starting point: Alp Ober Gereren (~1,610 m) – accessible by car via Kiental (good but steep mountain path, CHF 10.-)
Ascent: approx. 360 m – Duration: 1–1.15 hours
Trail: clearly visible, but steep & alpine (T2) – especially in the upper section (short exposed sections, surefootedness required)

🌅 Why the Sunset is worth it:
Spectacular view of the entire Kandertal, the Bernese Alps, Lake Thun &, on a clear day, as far as Mont Blanc
Evening atmosphere on the summit = magically tranquil & colorful
Good opportunity to descend with a headlamp after sunset; if you descend early, no headlamp Headlamp required (about 45–60 minutes back to the alp).
