Gastertal panorama from Grüenewald

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

From Grüenewald, the Gastertal valley lies practically at your feet. Framed by striking peaks, you can see the Kander river winding its way through the valley. To the south, the steep north face of the Doldenhorn drops away, while to the west rises the Gross Lohner massif. Lined with light mountain forest, you'll be treated to breathtaking views at every turn.

May 16, 2025,"Sensation: Hering & Seestern im Oeschinensee" > Kandersteg

Instagram hotspot on a Friday in May -

300 - not 4,000 people at Lake Oeschinen!

"Regular" hikers are in the minority, but very welcome!

Many waterfalls, snow-capped peaks, spring gentian, and everything else you'll find in the mountains.

Warm below, fresh above.
