Question about hiking trail in Bernese Oberland
-
Hi- My boss had me put together a 7 day hiking itinerary for him. He is a beginner hiker but not terribly out of shape. Does anyone know if this would be too difficult for him?
Day 1: Individual arrival to Meiringen / Rosenlaui Rosenlaui – Grosse Scheidegg – Grindelwald, 5:30 h
With the Postauto from Meiringen to Rosenlaui. After the rock barrier with the Reichenbach Falls, the path runs through the flat valley floor, in the wake of the Wetterhorn, past the Nostalgiehotel Rosenlaui and the glacier gorge, through beautiful moorland areas via the Grosse Scheidegg to Grindelwald.
2nd day: Alpiglen – Kleine Scheidegg – Wengen / Lauterbrunnen, 5:15 h
By train from Grindelwald to Alpiglen. From here gently the ascent over corrugated mats to the small Scheidegg, near and vastly the rock and ice of the Eigerordwand. Sunny high-way to Wengen, then descend into the Lauterbrunnen valley (by train), with its vertical walls and spectacular waterfalls.
3rd day: Mürren – Sefinenfurgge – Griesalp, 6:30 h
From Wengen / Lauterbrunnen by train to Mürren. The Sonnenterasse of Mürren is directly opposite of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Over alpine pastures, view terraces like the Bryndli and wilderness huts like the Rotstockhütte continue to the Sefinenfurgge, the impressive transition to the Kiental.
Day 4: Griesalp – Hohtürli – Oeschinensee, 6:45 h
King set over the 2778 m high Hohtürli. A rewarding detour to the Blümlisalphütte and the eternal glacier ice. Over moraines downhill to the deep blue, spectacular Oeschinensee, one of the most beautiful mountain lakes of the Alps, surrounded by steep rock faces. From Oeschinensee by gondola and bus to Kandersteg.
Day 5: Allmenalp – Bonderchrinde – Adelboden, 5:30 h
From the traditional wooden houses of Kanderstegs over alpine pastures, to the rocky walls of the Lohners, which are inhabited by chamoisen. From Kandersteg by chairlift to Allmenalp. The Bunderchrinde, the breathtaking transition to the Engstligental valley, leads to Adelboden by way of several stepped steps.
6th day: Adelboden – Hahnenmosspass – Lenk, 5:30 h
Gentle ascent along the Glisbach, through forests and moorlands, over the Hahnenmoospass, then down to Lenk, beautifully situated in the Kessel of the Hintere Simmental with spectacular waterfalls and the perfect backdrop of the Wildstrubelmassiv.
