Hiking
The Hohtürli is a pass crossing between the Kiental and the Kandertal. And the hike from Griesalp to Lake Oeschines is a Bernese Oberland classic.

The Hohtürli Pass lies at almost 2,800 meters between the Kiental and Kandertal valleys in the Bernese Oberland. The ascent leads across steep slopes, scree fields, and patches of snow – a climb that demands stamina and sure footing. From Griesalp, the path winds its way up in numerous switchbacks until the view opens up at the top: far below, the valleys; above, the peaks of the Blüemlisalp group. A little above the pass stands the Blüemlisalp Hut, a popular starting point for mountain tours.

When you have reached the top of the Hohtürli, it is only a few meters to the Blümlisalp 🏔️🤩👌
