Hiking: Via Alpina "Beartrek"

Arrival to Meiringen
Meiringen – Grindelwald
By bus you travel up to Rosenlaui where the first hike starts. You walk up the Grosse Scheidegg from where you have a magnificent view of the mountains Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. From here you continue to Grindelwald.
Grindelwald – Wengen
The trail leads up the Kleine Scheidegg and continues over a sunny high trail to the car-free holiday resort Wengen. A small path leads past the spectacular Trümmelbach Falls down to Lauterbrunnen.
Early in the morning the cable car brings you up to Mürren. In the early months of the summer there often still lays snow on the alpine pass Sefinenfurgge. You walk past a breathtaking Alpine scenery.
The ascent up the Blüemlisalp is the most spectacular stage on your hiking tour. After a long and steep walk up to 2’843 meters feel free to enjoy an excellent meal at the Swiss mountain cabin "Blüemlisalphütte".
From there the trail leads over the Hohtürli and glacier moraines down to Lake Öschinen. Now Kandersteg is only a short walk away (Easy option: Ride with the cable car down into the valley).
Kandersteg – Adelboden
By cable car you travel up to Allmenalp, from where you'll hike to Bonderchrinde. The view of the surrounding peaks is breathtaking. Afterwards you hike down into the valley to Adelboden.
Adelboden – Lenk
From the widely-known village of Adelboden you walk towards the Hahnenmoospass. Wonderful views and the peak of mount Wildstrubel guide you down to the valley Simmental. You will spend one last night in the Bernese Oberland.
