    Hi,

    I recently read about Gasterntal valley while searching for hikes near Kandersteg. The pictures are very appealing and I’m planning to do the hike to Selden.

    Please help me with some queries:

    1. Is this an easy hike? Is it well marked? Does it involve climbing rocky paths?

    2. If it has uneven/rocky paths, then is the path till hotel Waldhaus easier?

    3. Is it better to take the bus to Selden and then hike back to Kandersteg?

    4. It says the bus needs to be reserved. Does it mean I call and ask them to save me a seat by my name and then pay the ticket cash to the driver?

    Thank you for your time.
