Zpráva od Tanya Deans

Oeschinensee is a gorgeous alpine lake surrounded by tall mountain peaks. It’s easy to reach the lake with a gondola ride, then easy 30 min walk on a wide dirt path.

Trail stats: easy • 1h30 • 4 km round trip • 110m up and down • See trail map

Open: mid May thru October

Conditions: trail statuswebcamsweather

At the lakeshore, you’ll find picnic areas, restaurants, and even row boats to rent. Near the gondola station, there is a summer toboggan ride. This is a great option for casual walkers and families with small children.

If you like to hike, we suggest also doing the spectacular panorama trail that traverses the mountain above the lake.

How to get there

This is a loop trail starting and ending at the top of the Kandersteg-Oeschinensee gondola.

Address: Oeschistrasse 50, 3718 Kandersteg. Metered parking next to gondola.

Trail station: Kandersteg, Bahnhof station, about 1h15 from Interlaken. Then a 15 min walk to the gondola station. Follow the signs and other people walking there.

Trail description

From the top of the gondola, follow signs to Oeschinensee, starting on a wide dirt service road.

If you have a stroller or limited mobility, best to stay on the service road all the way to the lake.

If you prefer a quieter trail, you can branch onto a footpath that wanders through the forest and descends on some switchbacks before reaching the lakeshore. See map on Komoot.

When you reach the lake, you'll find fire pits, a sculpture garden, lots of places to lounge and restaurants a bit further up the the path.

💡Tip: If you prefer not to walk to the lake, you can pay to ride a little shuttle bus to the lakeshore or back. The shuttle gives priority to those with reduced mobility. It can accommodate wheelchair users.
