Seebergsee

Park at the Anger car park in Tiermatten.

(S/E) Take the tarmac path towards Seebergsee, following the Yellow Diamond markings.

(1) Leave the road and turn left to stay on the hiking trail.

(2) Ignore the path on the right, then join a lovely little mountain road and follow it for several kilometres.

(3) Continue to the right on the hiking trail, which often follows the road but sometimes veers away from it to a greater or lesser extent. After a long stretch, you’ll reach the Seeberg crossroads.

(4) Turn right to quickly reach Seebergsee.

(5) Walk along the left-hand side of the lake, continuing on to reach a Fork in the road at Stiereberg.

(6) Turn right, keeping to the right at all junctions to return to the lake junction.

(5) Follow the route you took on the way there to the right to return to the Seeberg junction you passed on the way there.

(4) Turn right to follow the^GR® path, marked in red and white and named Vordermenige. Reach the Vordermenige farm.

:7:: Ignore the path leading down to the right, then take the path on the left. Continue along the path linking the farm to the valley, though it descends quite steeply and can be slippery in places. Pass close to the Sennhutte farm, then the path continues towards Schwand. You’ll reach the crossroads you passed on the way out.

(3) Turn right and follow the path taken on the way there to the Anger car park (S/E).

As we’re in Switzerland, everything is well signposted, with signs at every junction. However, as I’m hiking using the app, I don’t always pay attention to all the information on the signs, so I apologise for any resulting inaccuracies and recommend the app, which is really handy.
This walk doesn’t include any exposed or dangerous sections, but you’ll come across plenty of herds in summer, so don’t forget to close the gates to the pastures.
Take care, as most of the route is exposed to the sun. Do not attempt this if the weather is uncertain, as you’re in the mountains.
Note: the Suisse Mobile app, which automatically tracks the trails, shows an extra 0.5 km and 130 m of elevation gain compared to Visorando, as well as a walking time of 7 hours 30 minutes excluding breaks; please bear this in mind.
Hiking boots and walking poles are essential; there are several restaurants, farm-to-table eateries and water points along the route.

At the end of the car park – which is free, a rarity in Switzerland – there’s a shop selling local produce. In fact, as is often the case in Switzerland, it’s a self-service fridge stocked with cheese, jams, syrups and drinks, and you simply put the money in a cash box right next to it.
There are plenty of other walks to choose from in the area, such as the Wiriehore circuit or the Stockhorn.
