Bernese Oberland, end May: easy hikes with flowers
Galvgirl is planning a trip to the Berner Oberland area from May 20-24 and is looking for easy walks to see wildflowers. They need recommendations on accessible trails that offer beautiful scenery during their visit.
- Consider the Mountain View Trail from Lauterbrunnen to Mürren for an easy hike with stunning views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
- Schynige Platte will not be accessible in late May, as the railway opens only in July.
- Mürren and Gimmelwald are excellent alternatives for beautiful flower viewing at this time.

A reminder that Schynige platte won’t be a accessible in late May as the railway is closed
Hello Galvgirl,
I agree with 1960man! Schynige platte is very well known for beautiful flowers but it’s maybe to early in the year! Maybe the area of Mürren or Gimmelwald (is less high than the Schynige Platte) could be a possibility?!
Have agreat trip!

Thank you, yes, trains to Schynige Platte, will only commence from July 1st, ending October 22.
Kind regards,

Hello Galvgirl,
One of my all time favorites, as an easy walk with breathtaking views is the ‘Mountain View Trail’. From Lauterbrunnen, you take the gondola up to Grütschalp. From there, you will find the Mountain View Trail, which leads you all the way to Mürren. It is approximately a 2 hr walk. The views of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau are amazing. With respect to flowers, late May might still be a bit early, but hopefully you will see some!
Wishing you a wonderful trip!
Monica
Thank you! Fingers crossed for flowers.
