Trachsellauenen Mountain Inn

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Berggasthaus Trachsellauenen is located in the Hinterer Lauterbrunnen Valley, in an impressive landscape and in close contact with the waterfalls, framed with an impressive summit panorama on several three and four thousand meter peaks. The inn can be reached on foot from Stechelberg in around an hour.
The mountain inn Trachsellauenen includes the Sennhütte, a unique shelter for drying clothes and the oldest holiday house (1730) in the valley. Over the beautiful sun terrace with the picturesque deciduous trees, ten romantic double rooms invite you to spend the night.

Schmadribach Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Schmadribachfall is a waterfall in the Schmadribach in the Bernese Oberland. The Schmadribach rises from the Breithorn glacier and Schmadrig glacier at the foot of the Großhorn and Breithorn and plunges over limestone benches into the rear Lauterbrunnen valley.

Oberhornsee

Highlight • Lake

The Oberhornsee is located in the rear Lauterbrunnen Valley at an altitude of 2065m above sea level.

It is a true gem in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch. Small and blue, it lies in an impressive alpine landscape of the Bernese Oberland.

Depending on the weather, the Oberhornsee dries out almost completely in late summer or autumn, as it is not fed directly by the meltwater from the Breithorn.

Great section with stunning views

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Great section with stunning views on the surrounding snowy mountain peaks. Although this section is rated as T4 alpine, it's actually quite easy to traverse. I would definitely not rate the difficulty level higher than T2.

Obersteinberg Mountain Inn

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Candlelight and kerosene lamps, home-style cooking, our own alpine cheese dairy, mule transports for food and drinks - that is the Obersteinberg mountain inn!
It is at an altitude of 1800m above sea level. M.
The inn can only be reached on foot, hiking time from Stechelberg approx. 2 hours, from Mürren approx. 4 hours.
The inn is a good starting point for many beautiful hikes in the region.

Tschingelhorn Mountain Inn

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The mountain inn (1680 m above sea level) is located on the edge of the "Hinteres Lauterbrunnental" nature reserve and "UNESCO World Heritage Site", with a view of the fantastic mountain scenery with the Jungfrau towering above everything. You can take a break at the mountain inn as a stopover on a hike to Oberhornsee, but you can also set off from there to numerous other destinations after an overnight stay.
Very beautiful area there and really nice hosts.
