Lake Bachalpsee

The hike to Lake Bachalpsee offers everything a hiker's heart desires: A magnificently-landscaped path leads through lush flowering alpine meadows. On the opposite side of the valley, ice-capped four-thousand metre mountains tower in the air. At the start of the hike, a short, but considerable climb must be tackled. The wide, well-maintained hiking trail then takes you from the gondola summit station up to the Gummihütte. The sharp, jagged peaks of the Wetterhorn, Schreckhorn and Finsteraarhorn on the opposite side of the valley stand in stark contrast to the pretty flowering meadows lining the trail.
After a short period of hiking, a more or less flat path leads from the Gummihütte to Lake Bachalp. The majestic Schreckhorn is reflected in the blue jewel of the Bernese Alps during windless conditions. Expansive meadows and numerous benches invite you to take a long break and enjoy the stunning panorama.
