Ideas for two-day-tours (overnight stay in a mountain hut)
Blüemlisalp hut
The Sunset Hut
We start in Kandersteg and take the cable car to lake Oeschinen. The world-famous mountain lake impresses with its colour and location. We climb up to the hut that sits on the pass in front of a scenery of glaciers. The sunsets are unique!
Day 1: 9 km/ ↑ 1250m, ↓70m/ 5 h
On the second day we descend towards Griesalp. The path is steep at first until we reach the first alpine meadows. The route is varied until we reach Griesalp. From there we take the postbus back to Kandertal on the steepest postbus route in europe!
Day 2: 7 km/ ↑ 3m, ↓1400m/ 5 h
Lötschenpass hut
Traditions and Views
We start in the wildly romantic Gasterental near Kandersteg. When we reach the hut on the pass we have a long but very varied ascent over alpine meadows and glaciers behind us. The view from the pass into the Lötschental and the mountains of Valais is breathtaking.
Day 1: 14 km/ ↑ 1100m, ↓200m/ 5 h
On the second day we take a leisurely walk along the path that leads us into the valley where we visit traditional villages and discover the typical wooden carved masks.
Day 2: 7 km/ ↑ 40m, ↓800m/ 3 h
Wildhorn hut
The Hidden Gem
We start on the Iffigenalp, near Lenk i. S.. After an ascent of 500 metres, we reach the Iffiglake. If you wish, you can take a dip here. Surrounded by a magnificent mountains, we hike to the hut where we will spend the night.
Day 1: 6 km/ ↑ 750m, ↓40m/ 3.5 h
After a typical hut breakfast we climb to the summit of Iffighore. After enjoying the views we hike through a varied landscape back to the Iffigalp where we started.
