ヴァッセンのおすすめランニングルート

Very nice view and from there you can jog up the mountain into the valley where there are lots of cow pastures and also marmots.

The cable car to Gemstock starts nearby, from where you have a very nice view and in winter there are great ski slopes.

Very nice hiking trail through pastures with cows, where you can also ride your mountain bike. Further ahead, where there are not so many cows, you can often see marmots.

Thanks to the elevated location there is also a beautiful view over the village.

wonderful place

The lake is dammed by a planted earth dam 155 meters high and 540 meters long. At its base the dam is 700 meters wide. A total of 9.3 million cubic meters of material was used. The dam can be visited. On this tour you take the funicular. The ride on the old winch railway is very adventurous and an experience.

The church bell of the Göscheneralp chapel, which was built around 1750. A new building was built in 1909. In 1955, the chapel and cemetery in the former hamlet of Göscheneralp had to give way to the reservoir. After 55 years, the old bell was rung again in 2014. With a specially built bell tower, the bell at the dam is accessible to everyone.

The Göscheneralpsee lies at 1,792 meters and has a maximum depth of a good 100 meters. The lake's massive dam is considered the highest stone dam (a planted earth dam) in Switzerland. You can walk around the lake on a hike. While the front part is rather rocky, the back part is a moorland landscape.
