Iffigbach Fall always a welcome cooling in summer

A highlight of your circular hike around Lake Arnen is this waterfall, which flows down into Lake Arnen, nestled in nature.

Cycling to Iffigenfall, a beautiful waterfall near the Simmental Valley, is a must for those looking for a challenging yet rewarding hike. The route takes you through the picturesque Swiss countryside, where you’ll pass through lush forests, meadows, and charming Swiss villages. As you approach Iffigenfall, the sound of the cascading water grows louder, and you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the waterfall dramatically cascading over the cliffs.

Gorges beautifully eroded by water.

This area is very impressive!

We did a 4-day hike around the Wildhorn. This hike from Lauenensee was a great start to the next 4 days.
