Oeschinensee Lake(edit)

Overview

You will need to arrive in the town of Kandersteg, which is also the name of the train station. We decided to go rogue and hike in (not that hard) rather than take the cable car. The hike to the lake took us fifty minutes so it really isn’t value for money if you are physically capable as it isn’t a scenic cable car. You can basically connect to the river at any point and follow the trail on the left as you head up towards the Oeschinen Lake. We joined up with the river from the ticket office, once we had decided to head in that direction.

We hiked up to Unterbergli cabin and Oberbergli cabin and had a coffee and chill session. We then ventured around the back of the lake for a better view and a little exploration. We had originally planned to go up to Kliental Cabin but in the end, venturing around the backside on the hills was enough for us and had epic views. We stayed up here till sunset and then from here it only took us 1.5 hours to get all the way back to the train station in time for the last train at 10:30 pm
