Gantrischhütte–Länggrätli Hiking Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This beautiful hiking trail was created so that you don't have to walk along the pass road. It connects the Unteri Gantrischhütte with the Länggrätli (parking spaces). Very pleasant to go and nicely managed!

Bench with a view of Gantrischseeli

Highlight • Lake

A lovely alpine lake with a few barbecue spots and places to sit.
Also ideal for families with kids. A detour to Alp Bire is definitely worth it.
There are two circular hikes to the lake, which are 4.5 and around 10 km long.

Alp Bire

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Alp is located at 1,640 meters altitude in the Bernese Prealps in the heart of the Gantrisch Regional Nature Park. In summer, goats and cows graze here, cared for by the Mäder family. At the large alpine table in front of the hut, you will be entertained by them from mid-June to mid-September and can taste the homemade goat cheese while enjoying the magnificent view of the striking Gantrisch.

August 14, 2021,Gantrischseeli – Alp Bire Runde (14.08.21)

The tour starts off well, and the Gantrischseeli is absolutely lovely. After that, however, it gets rather boring and it is sometimes difficult to find your way. The fun stops at the Schwefelbergbad at the latest. Uphill over gravel without trees or bushes (not recommended in sunny weather).
