Oeschinensee Loop, Kandersteg
A glacial lake surrounded by sheer limestone walls reaching over 2,000 metres. One of the most beautiful half-days I have spent in the Bernese Oberland. The colour of the water needs to be seen to be believed.
Every route reachable by public transport. Every guide written from boots on the ground. I only recommend trails I have hiked myself.
