Lake Oeschinen: Simply Unique
Leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and head into the beauty of nature and the peace and quiet of the mountains.
Experience an unforgettable daytrip to one of the most renowned mountain lakes in Switzerland above the town of Kandersteg The area around the lake is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Jungfrau Aletsch for good reason. Impressive natural features, numerous hikes with incredible vistas, clean water, and countless waterfalls… Lake Oeschinen calls! Hike through unspoiled nature on one of the many hiking trails. Experience incredible views and impressive mountain scenery. Be sure to bring your bathing suit – swimming in the lake is not only permitted – it is practically a must do! In the evening, relax in one of the mountain lodges located directly on the lake or race down the slopes on the summer alpine slide. Simply unique!

“Spectacular location with an outstanding panoramic hiking trail! There is also a shorter trail that leads from the station to the lake. Many benches along the way provide a chance to rest. Ideal for a day trip.”
