Hundshubel – Mürren

Hike with 1,300 metres of elevation gain: be warned, it’s going to be tough. It’s a challenging day, all uphill from the hotel to the campsite. We’ll arrive in the heart of the countryside. We’ll need to set up camp before having a nap and getting out the card games (not forgetting the food).

Depart from the Mürren campsite to visit Lauterbrunnen. You can take a stroll around the town and its surroundings before heading to Lauterbrunnen station to return to Geneva. It’s a quiet day to relax.

This second stage will take you from Kiental to Kandersteg. After a fairly challenging climb to Ramslauenen, you will cross the beautiful Horewald forest and then overlook the Kander valley. You will enjoy more views of Lake Thun and the Niesen. You will also have a bird's eye view of the trains on the Lötschberg line. Kandersteg is the station where vehicles board the shuttle trains before the Lötschberg railway tunnel.

This hike makes for a relaxing day out. You can stroll around the lake and enjoy a bite to eat. The starting point, at Camping Kanderseg, is at an altitude of 1,228 metres, whilst Lake Oeshinensee is at 1,590 metres. You then return to the starting point

A lovely little hike offering access to Lake Oeschinen, at the mere cost of a bit of a sweat, rather than paying for the cable car. There are no difficulties on this route, apart from the fact that it’s uphill all the way on the way there, but nothing technically challenging in itself.

This third stage will take you from Kandersteg to the hamlet of Selde. The Kander river will accompany you throughout this beautiful route. Calm from Kandersteg to Eggeschwand, the Kander can be heard as you climb up through the gorges, where you can enjoy the various waterfalls and cascades. You will then follow it more peacefully through the wide Gastertal valley to Selde.

This fourth stage will take you from Selde to Lauchernalp. You will start by crossing the Kander via a suspension bridge. After Gfelalp, you will have a superb view of the Kanderfin glacier, the source of the Kander. The climb to the Lötschenpass crosses a glacier without any difficulty. An equipped passage takes you to the pass, where you can enjoy a break at the hut. You will admire the wide panorama of the 4,000-metre peaks of the Valais Dom, Weisshorn and Matterhorn. At the Lötschen Pass, as at Lauchernalp, you can see the Restipass, which is the planned route for the next day's stage.

The Faulhorn rises to an altitude of 2,680 metres. It offers a 360-degree view of the Alps, with some peaks over 4,000 metres high, such as the Grosses-Fiescherhorn. The two main access points to the Folhorn are via the Schynige Platte or First. However, with good logistics (see practical information), it is also possible to make a one-way trip and return by public transport. The hike is a gradual climb, but offers splendid views of the first Alpine glaciers and other peaks in the surrounding area. There are restaurants where you can eat and take a break in pleasant surroundings.
