Description

The cable car ride from Isenfluh up to Sulwald takes about 10 minutes. The trail begins right behind the Sulwald-Stübli. Following the «Sulwald Rundweg» sign, the trail at first follows a wide road until it branches off to the right and begins the ascent. After an initial leisurely ascent, the Sulwald forest loop splits off from the Lobhorn Trail, which now continues straight on. Below the Chüematta cliffs of the Schärihubel, the trail goes through a hollow to the east that winds uphill to the Lobhorn hut (1'954 m). After an approximately 2-km-long marked ascent to the Lobhorn hut, a magnificent view of the Jungfrau Region opens up over the Lauterbrunnen Valley in the canton of Berne.

The Lobhornhütte is only guarded from 6 - 16 February 2020 on Saturday and Sunday.
