Before heading to the lake and strolling along its magnificent shores, take the time to walk up to this slightly elevated point to admire the lake from this viewpoint with the mountains behind it, it is truly a treat.

My day today brought me to the Arnensee (officially Arnesee) in Gsteig near Gstaad. Although the Arnensee is in the canton of Bern, the area is divided into the Friborg Alps (complicated). The road from Feutersoey to Arnensee is subject to a toll (5Fr).
