Stunning natural beauty and panoramic views of the Swiss Alps! To get to Bachalpsee, you'll first need to go to the town of Grindelwald. From there, you can take the cable car to the top of First Mountain (+ when you'll be there, it's already a good idea to visit First Cliff Walk by Tissot). Once you reach the top of First Mountain, you can begin the hike to Bachalpsee. The trail is well-marked and takes about 2 hours to complete, depending on your pace. The hike to Bachalpsee is not particularly difficult, but it does involve walking uphill and some uneven terrain, so it's important to wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring some water.
