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.
