Flower Trail: First - Bachalpsee Lake - Waldspitz - Bort (AllTrails)
Discover this 7.7-km point-to-point trail near Grindelwald, Bern. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 2 h 58 min to complete. This is a very popular area for birding, hiking, and running, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are June through September. Dogs are welcome and may be off-leash in some areas.
This is a fantastic downhill hike in the Jungfrau region starting from First (2165m). The trail is called the flower trail for there are information panels along the way on the varied alpine flora of this area such as gentian, silver thistle, chamomile and cotton grass. The path leads past the sparkling Bachalp Lake to the summit of Waldspitz, where there is a charming inn with a terrace. The second section is relatively steep and it is recommended to bring hiking poles.
A cable car goes from Grindelwald to the trailhead in First and back to the starting point from Bort to Grindelwald. For further information, prices and opening times of the cable car:
