Napf Summit & Panoramic Viewpoint

Highlight • Summit

The Napf can be reached on foot from two cantons: one from the canton of Bern and the other from the canton of Lucerne. Extensive, varied and well-marked hiking trails are characteristic features of the Napf area. Neither car roads nor cable cars lead to the Napf. Once you have reached the summit, you can enjoy the unique beauty of the Bernese Alps. On a clear day you can see the Jura, see beyond the Lucerne hinterland and see the Aargau.
The most popular and shortest ascent options that can be reached by car are from the Bern region in the Mettlenalp. From the Lucerne region in the Ei, Wiggernhütte, Holzwege, Bramboden and Niederänzi.

May 11, 2025,"Ämmital" Mettlenalp - Napf

A Sunday like you order and rarely get: decorative little clouds, clear air, not too warm, not too cool. Perfect hiking weather, pure idyll in the "Ämmital."

Mettlenalp lies quietly – nothing spectacular, but just right. Lace up your shoes, pack your backpack, and off you go.
