Hexenkessel, Dünde and Pochtenfall as well as the Griesschlucht: Already in the first few kilometers this tour more than lives up to its name. Then comes the Hotel Waldrand Pochtenalp, a cozy place for a long rest, before another waterfall and the Tschingelsee offer you refreshing perspectives.

The right choice for strollers: From the mountain station of the Elsigenalp cable car, you can reach the cool waters of this mountain lake in less than half an hour. If you still start to sweat, you can take a dip here at 1,800 meters; if you're hungry, you can use one of the well-equipped fire pits.

Mysterious yet inviting, this mountain lake is surrounded by fir trees in the middle of the alpine landscape of Elsigen-Metsch. Your circular hike from the mountain station takes just under an hour - but the fire pits and the Elsigenalp mountain hut should tempt you to stay longer in the region.

Yes, you have to earn your way into the UNESCO World Heritage Site: This tour goes steadily uphill from Kandersteg village. Along the way, mountain forests and the view over the Kandertal make up for it, before you finally descend a few metres to the shore. The Berghaus Arva then offers some relaxing moments.

The wild and romantic Gasterntal is one of the most beautiful in Switzerland. The gorge at its entrance offers an impressive water spectacle.

Stairs and bridges over roaring waterfalls and mills: this route shows you the full power of the Engstlige. The impressive gorge can be reached after just a quarter of an hour from the starting point Tregel, and after the gorge and a detour to the Pochtenkessel, you are back at the starting point just as quickly.

Of course, you could also simply reach the idyllic Engstligenalp mountain hotel by gondola. But on foot, the almost two-hour climb offers more varied perspectives of the hundreds of meters high waterfalls. From the valley station, you follow the mule track that cows also use when they are brought up… saber mais

This Lenker summer tour starts above the tree line at the Metschstand mountain station. You then hike northwards under the Rägeboldshore until you reach the Caribbean-like mountain lake. If you want, you can now head to the Berghotel Hahnenmoospass for a night in the Alps, otherwise the starting point is close by.

What a start: The Simmen Falls enrich your start on this hike with white spray. Past the mysterious Siebenbrunnen springs, the trail soon climbs steeply. With a little surefootedness, you will reach the Flueseeli at 2,045 meters, where the hut of the same name invites you to take a rest.
