Description
Countless alps (alpine pastures) accompany you today on your way down into the valley. From the marshy plateau of the Älggialp, the geographical centre of Switzerland, you pass through small forests towards the Brünig pass. The turquoise waters of Lake Lungern greet you from afar, which you reach after a strenuous descent along narrow paths. The destination of the seventh stage is the village of Lungern.

 

Walking time: approx. 6 hours | Distance: 18 km | Total elevation gain: 445 m | Total elevation loss: 1,383 m
