Hiking

Meiringen is the main town in the Haslital and surrounded by a great mountain backdrop. Starting point for the big passes (Grimsel and Susten) or in the beautiful skiing and hiking area Hasliberg. Almost unlimited hiking opportunities in all directions of all levels of difficulty - always rewarded with spectacular nature. And in the evening, visit one of the good restaurants or delicious delicacies from Molki-Meiringen.
