- Description
-
The circular trail is considered one of the most beautiful in the Bernese Oberland. A breathtaking panorama awaits you after the ascent. From up here, Lake Oeschinen shows itself in all its glory. A place to enjoy and linger before heading down over alpine meadows from Oberbärgli via Underbärgli to Lake Oeschinen. If you like, you can round off the day with a refreshing swim. With a little luck and patience, ibexes and chamois can be spotted on this round tour.
