A lovely, lonely high valley through which the Mässerbach meanders. The Mässerbach forms beautiful waterfalls at the lower and upper end of the valley and rises from the Geisspfadsee (2423 m above sea level).

A steep gravel field leads up to the Geisspfadsee. Pay attention to the markings so you do not miss the way.

Geisspfad Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

From the pass you have a sensational view of the Geisspfadsee below you. Up here in the rocky landscape you are surrounded only by rugged peaks and ridges.

Small but perfectly formed. Lake Mässersee is incredibly beautiful! Fantastic view across to the southern side of the Bernese Alps.

Mässersee

Highlight • Lake

Great view of the Valais Alps slightly above the lake! The lake itself is also beautiful and you can swim in it. Only in one area though, as a rare underwater plant grows in the rest of the lake!
