View of Lake Oeschinen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Another highlight, where there are already many. ;-)
But the view here is also beautiful and the Oeschinensee is an oasis in the middle of imposing mountains.

Magnificent high-altitude lake, but a lot of people! Remember to come early enough in the morning to be quiet.

Lakeside Trail at Lake Oeschinen

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful mountain lake, even if the weather didn't play along, it was definitely a worthwhile climb

A stunningly beautiful lake, surrounded by several two- and three-thousand-meter peaks. The relatively easy climb makes this destination worthwhile for the whole family. Sturdy footwear is recommended. Restaurants and boat rentals are also available.

February 19, 2023,Oeschinen Bergstation - Oeschinensee - Underbärgli - und wieder zurück zur Bergstation

Short hike to the Oeschinensee and a little further to the Oberbärgli. Beautiful but the lake is unfortunately a huge tourist attraction. Unfortunately we were a bit late, the tour to the Blüemlisalphütte at 2836m would definitely have been worth it.
