Hike from Kandersteg to Berghotel Schwarenbach

Highlight • Trail

Very beautiful route, especially in winter from Sunnbüel, mostly easy route.

Tip by

1.73 km

You have this wonderful view from a path steeped in history that connects the cantons of Bern and Valais. The first package tour through Switzerland, organized by Thomas Cook, used to cross this transition.

From here you have a very nice view of the snow-covered lake (winter hike)

Daubensee

Highlight • Lake

This crystal-clear mountain lake lies between Daubenhorn (2,942 metres) and Rinderhorn (3,448 metres). Its high alpine location makes the hike around it an absolute highlight. It is about two hours' brisk walking from the Sunnbüel mountain station, and its southern end is right on the Gemmi Pass. The lake is not just a popular destination for hikers: Due to its good wind conditions, it is not uncommon to watch kite surfers flying at over 2,200 metres.

September 16, 2023,🇨🇭 Kandersteg - Gemmipass - Leukerbad

We took the Sunnbül gondola up in Kandersteg and followed the path to Leukerbad. We passed the Daubensee. At the Gemmi Pass we took the gondola down to Leukerbad.
The path is very easy to follow. Overall, a very scenic and leisurely hike.

Today was another very hot 🔥🥵 day, so it feels very pleasant on the Gemmipass. The mountain world up here and the very beautiful view down to the Daubensee, simply fantastic.

From Leukerbad you can take the gondola up to the Gemmi Pass. From above you have a wonderful view of Leukerbad. On wide paths you pass the Daubensee on the right. If you want to go to the left of the lake, you can either walk or use the small gondola down to the Daubensee.
Both options meet again at …

I had pretty dirty shoes from hiking in Baselland 🥾

So a hike in the snow was needed ❄️

I decided on the tour from the Gemmi Pass to Sunnbüel.

Well marked and prepared and with a cozy stop in the middle of the hike. 🍰 ☕️
