Detailed Timetables

Bire, Balmhorn or Blüemlisalp? Beneath the mighty peaks of Kandersteg, countless hiking trails stretch across an unspoilt mountain world. And, of course, the legendary Royal Stage of the Via Alpina passes through here. But with themed trails, mountain hikes, walks and family tours, there are enough choices for every level of fitness and energy – both around the village and in the numerous alpine regions nearby.

Hiking Tips

Oeschinen Lake, Heuberg

The peaks of Blüemlisalp and Doldenhorn soar above; the deep blue of the glacial water sparkles below. This wellmaintained mountain hiking trail leads from the upper station of the Oeschinen Lake gondola lift upwards and then down again to the shore in around three hours. With a bit of luck, you’ll also see eagles, chamois or ibexes crisscrossing the rock faces.

Gasterntal, Kanderfirn

Sunnbüel, Gurnigelweg

Narrow gorges, foaming mountain streams, a rocky hole and breathtaking views. Sure-footed hikers will be richly rewarded on this trail starting at Sunnbüel mountain railway station. The rarest types of flowers can also be discovered along the way –from the «lady’s slipper» in springtime to the world-famous Edelweiss, a rich Alpine flora blooms here.
