Lake Oeschin
You can reach the delightful Lake Oeschin by chairlift from Kandersteg. This will take around one hour less than if you were to go on foot. The lake is a majestic glacial run-off. It is deep blue, almost perfectly round, ringed by jagged mountain ridges. The lift route follows the left shore of the lake. The lift rides about 30 meters above it, gradually gaining elevation above the pastures called Underbargli, which are located at the head of the lake. You will see the snow-capped peaks of Blumlisalp, Doldenhorn and others from this position. The alpine pastures are simply picturesque with many beautiful, brightly colored flowers.
Wall of the Wetterhorn
The limestone wall of the Wetterhorn rises a full 1 300 m from the meadows of Grindelwald Valley. The town of Grindelwald is 61 km away from Kandersteg. The route passes through Gleckstein Hut and Krinnen Glacier before one reaches the Wetterhorn glacier. The terrain is a mixed one of scree, snow and rock. The summit of the glacier is at an altitude of 3701 m. Climbers reach it after covering a final steep and snowy stretch. The cliffs drop down to Grindelwald valley right below the summit. You can see the three famous alpine glaciers the Eiger, the Monch and the Jungfrau to the west of the summit.
Lake Brienz
Lake Brienz is located in the Swiss canton of Bern to the north of the Alps. There are no shallow ends in the lake and the shores are very steep. The river Aare flows through, joining Lake Thun after leaving Lake Brienz. Towns and villages in the area of the lake include Brienz and Interlaken. The town of Brienz is 64 km away from Kandersteg. This lake has an unforgettable natural setting and offers a vast array of attractions with unlimited possibilities to practice various sports and engage in recreational activities.
