ABOUT THE ROUTE
On this adventure, we’ll enjoy the most amazing views over the Lauterbrunnen Valley, the Schynige Platte ridge, and the iconic trio of the Bernese Alps: the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. This peaceful and remote trail takes you through quiet forests, flower-filled alpine meadows, and past traditional mountain farms as we gradually ascend to the stunning and secluded Suls Lake.
This hike to Suls Lake and Lobhorn Hut begins with a scenic gondola ride from Isenfluh to Sulwald, a small alpine village above the Lauterbrunnen Valley. From Sulwald, we embark on an uphill trail through lush meadows and forests, with stunning views of the surrounding peaks, including the majestic Eiger and Mönch mountains. As we hike higher, the trail opens up and we will enjoy breathtaking views of the mountain scenery and the beautiful Valley under us.
Once we get to the hidden and stunning Suls lake, we’ll enjoy a picnic with Swiss specialties surrounded by the most incredible snow covered peaks, and for those up for it, you’re welcome to take a refreshing swim. On our way back, we’ll stop at the Lobhorn Hut for a refreshing drink and take a break on the terrace to enjoy the views. It’s a perfect chance to experience the authentic charm of a traditional Swiss mountain hut—especially for first-time visitors.
This hike is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a moderate, scenic adventure that combines alpine tranquility, a stunning lake, a unique picnic with local flavors, and a stop at an authentic mountain hut.
