Groups at Oeschinensee

Arrive, feel nature.

Oeschinensee Kandersteg is one of Switzerland's most impressive alpine natural gems and has been part of the UNESCO Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch World Heritage Site since 2007. Walks along the turquoise-blue lake, panoramic views, and culinary delights on the mountain make it one of the most attractive destinations in the Bernese Oberland.

In order to protect the natural beauty, the visitor experience, and ecological sustainability, measures to manage visitor numbers have been gradually introduced in recent years. Capacity restrictions were introduced as early as the 2025 summer season, requiring, among other things, online reservations for the mountain ascent (time slot/boarding pass); this serves to better distribute visitor flows and avoid waiting times for groups and individual guests.

Since 2025, clearly defined rules Oeschinensee also Oeschinensee to group trips to Oeschinensee : the number of groups is limited and reservations are mandatory, as the number of available time slots for the ascent space in Oeschinensee area is Oeschinensee . 

During the summer season, group reservations are mandatory. Spontaneous arrivals with a group of 10 or more people without prior booking cannot be accommodated due to capacity restrictions.
