You climb up the Elsighorn from the Elsigalp steadily but not too steeply in about 2-3 hours, depending on your fitness level. This route is also easy to manage with slightly older children. Once you get to the top, you have a great view in all directions, towards Adelboden, Frutigen and Lake Thun in the distance. The snow-covered mountains towards Valais can also be seen.
The Elsigalp as a starting point can be reached by cable car. 18 CHF there and back. The descent from the Alp is also very beautiful and can be managed in just about 45 minutes.
On the Alp there are two lakes where you can swim and where you can make yourself very comfortable. There are benches, loungers and fire pits for grilling. We were there in mid-September and were almost alone. In winter it is a very busy ski area, so it is very busy.

Always bring a country hunter, a roll and a piece of cheese. ;O)
