Gelten Hut (SAC)
Highlight • Mountain Hut
Route:
Starts at the Lauenensee parking lot (CHF 15). The trail initially leads leisurely along the lake, then steadily ascends through the Gelten and Lauibach valleys. Impressive waterfalls and rock faces abound. You reach the Geltenhütte (2,002 m) after about 2.5 to 3 hours (approx. 620 m elevation gain).
Highlights:
✅ Idyllic Lauenensee right at the start
✅ Wild waterfalls
✅ Quiet, well-marked mountain trail
✅ Refreshments & overnight stay at the Geltenhütte SAC 🛏️🍲
✅ Possibility of extending the hike, e.g. B. to the Arpelistock
Equipment:
Sturdy hiking boots 🥾, weather protection 🧥, plenty of water & snacks 💧🥪, and possibly walking poles 🦯. In early summer, there may be patches of snow – surefootedness is required.
Recommendation:
Set off early in the morning ⏰, especially on warm days – the trail is exposed to the sun.

Arpelistock Summit Cross
Highlight • Summit
On the first day you can climb to the Geltenhütte SAC, where you can spend the night 🛏️. This cozy mountain hut offers an ideal place to rest and allows you to gather new strength. The next morning you continue your ascent to the summit of the Arpelistock. The last few meters are particularly challenging, but the effort is worth it: once you reach the top, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking 360-degree panorama 🌄. Enjoy the view of the surrounding Bernese and Valais Alps as well as the impressive mountain massif.
