Gemmi Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A very well-maintained and safe path. Steep with many stone steps and stairs. Tip: Very pleasant in the early morning hours, as the path is located among the rocks and is mostly in full sun at midday.

View of Leukerbad from Gemmi Pass

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the Gemmi Pass down to Leukerbad is not for the faint-hearted... The way up or down also requires a lot of concentration. The easy alternative: take the cable car up or down.

Gemmi Pass Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Gemmi Pass is a 2268 m above sea level[1][2] high mountain pass in Switzerland. It is located in the Valais municipality of Leukerbad in the Bernese Alps and forms a north-south connection between Kandersteg in the Kandertal (canton of Bern) and Leukerbad in the valley of the Dala. The pass is on the ridge between the Daubenhorn (2942 m above sea level) in the west and the Plattenhörner (up to 2855 m above sea level) in the east. The border with the canton of Bern is much further north and lower.

Daubensee

Highlight • Lake

This crystal-clear mountain lake lies between Daubenhorn (2,942 metres) and Rinderhorn (3,448 metres). Its high alpine location makes the hike around it an absolute highlight. It is about two hours' brisk walking from the Sunnbüel mountain station, and its southern end is right on the Gemmi Pass. The lake is not just a popular destination for hikers: Due to its good wind conditions, it is not uncommon to watch kite surfers flying at over 2,200 metres.

Daubensee Mudflats

Highlight • Lake

🌾🏞️ The mudflats at Daubensee are a fascinating natural phenomenon that is characterized by its unique ecological conditions. This special landscape is created when bodies of water in the alpine region dry up at low water levels and expose wide, flat areas.

Here you can experience the diversity of flora and fauna up close! 🌼🐦 The mudflats are an important habitat for many rare bird species that breed or rest here. The colorful flowers and lush greenery provide a breathtaking backdrop that is particularly impressive in spring and summer.
