Hiking on the Niederhorn

Only
6
spots left!

Would you like to discover the Niederhorn on a hike?

On this hike, we go up to the summit of the Gemmenalphorn and then along the ridge to the Niederhorn, passing through meadows, forests and then above the tree line.

The summit offers an extraordinary view of Lake Thun on one side and the Hohgant on the other.

This event is led by Yorick Brunet, mountain leader.

What's the plan?

We will meet at Interlaken West at 07:55. The descent from the Niederhorn and the return to the meeting point will be by funicular/bus. Depending on the time, it is also possible to replace the bus journey with a boat trip between Beatenbucht and Interlaken West.

The path is a little narrow in places, so you need to be able to walk comfortably to explore these paths.

This is a demanding mountain hike, ~ 10 km and ~ 1200 m of ascent.

To join this event, you must be a fit hiker and familiar with small trails both downhill and uphill. This hike is not recommended for people suffering from vertigo.
