The hike from Lauenensee to the Geltenhütte SAC is a fantastic mountain hike with waterfalls, alpine scenery, and spectacular scenery ⛰️💧🌿. Route: Starts at the Lauenensee parking lot (CHF 15). The trail initially leads leisurely along the lake, then steadily ascends through the Gelten and Lauibach valleys. Impressive waterfalls and rock faces abound.

Highlights: ✅ Idyllic Lauenensee right at the start ✅ Wild waterfalls ✅ Quiet, well-marked mountain trail ✅ Refreshments & overnight stay at the Geltenhütte SAC 🛏️🍲 ✅ Possibility of extending the hike, e.g. B. to the Arpelistock Equipment: Sturdy hiking boots 🥾, weather protection 🧥, plenty of water & snacks 💧🥪, and possibly walking poles 🦯. In early summer, there may be patches of snow – surefootedness is required. Recommendation: Set off early in the morning ⏰, especially on warm days – the trail is exposed to the sun.

The view on both sides of the valley, from the summit, is worth the effort of climbing it, which is an intense effort ... nature is so beautiful, between rocks and mountain pastures, and the path steep but never dangerous! The view of the mountain lake rewards the most romantic and capsizes the souls of others! Come and enjoy, nature is so generous!

From the summit, at 2351 m, we admire a 360 degree view with Les Diablerets to the south, Lake Lioson to the north, the Col des Mosses to the west. Previously you could go to the summit by cable car.

If you are looking for a thrilling and scenic hike in the Swiss Alps, you should check out Devil's Quille. A path takes you across the Tsanfleuron glacier, from where you can admire the view of the Diablerets mountain group and the Oldenhorn summit. The trail ends at the Tour Saint Martin, also known as the Devil's Keel, a rock spire that rises above the glacier. The hike is easy to moderate, but you should follow the marked trail and wear appropriate shoes. You can also enjoy the free Ice Express chairlift and the world's highest toboggan run at Glacier 3000 Station. This ride will make you feel like you're on top of the world!
