How to get there?

Kandersteg is a one hour train ride away from Bern. From Kandersteg Bahnhof you'll take a 10 minutes bus to the Sunnbüel cable car. The hike begins there at the Bergrestaurant.

How difficult is it?

It is a medium difficulty hike which takes around 3.5 hours both ways. We did this hike in winter and we took our snowshoes, but the trail is well prepared and you can also do the hike without snowshoes. The day we went on the hike it was quite cold and windy closer to the lake, and that's why we turned around before actually getting to the lake.

There are two restaurants where you can eat: Berghotel Schwarenbach and Bergrestaurant
