Kiental–Ramslauenen Chairlift

Highlight • Rest Area

The chairlift takes you comfortably from Kiental up to Ramslauenen. Summer and winter operation, so everyone gets their money's worth. :-)

Gornerwasser

Highlight • River

Wide river bed just below Kiental. Nice place to swim and grill the sausage over the fire.

Beautiful, small waterfall on the side of the road. Particularly striking is the smooth, washed-out, brown rock over which the waterfall flows down.

Nostalgiehotel Waldrand Pochtenalp

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Enjoy the sun, let your eyes wander over the mountains and lush green meadows and forget everyday life. Just the journey on the steepest post bus route in Europe is an experience. That is the Nostalgiehotel Waldrand on the Pochtenalp.

Griesschlucht Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Beautiful, small gorge near Griesalp with many waterfalls. The landscape is beautiful and invites you to linger. Accessible from Griesalp or by climbing up from Tschingelsee.

Tschingelsee Floodplain

Highlight • Natural

The Tschingelsee is not a real lake, but more of a wide gravel bed that fills with water depending on the weather. It is really exciting to watch the stream find its way through the gravel. In between there are green islands of reeds and grass.
