Winter Kandersteg

Kandersteg

Waterfalls which thunder down mountain faces, lakes which sparkle emerald green and mountains which impress with heights of up to 3664 m: Kandersteg never ceases to amaze its visitors.

In the Gault Millau restaurant Blausee gourmets can not only enjoy freshly-caught trout, but also spectacular views of the Bernese Alps and the turquoise water. A short walk through the nature park or a tour on the Lake Blausee with a glass-bottom boat adds to the feeling of relaxation.

...

If you like walking, you should try the hiking trails, which run over a total of 600 km. The routes along the Lake Oeschinen offer particularly beautiful vistas. The lake, which stretches over 111 ha and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage, is said to be one of Switzerland’s most beautiful lakes. Relaxing picnics, fun on the mountain coaster, a tour with a rowing boat, winter hiking or ice fishing – the nature reserve offers an abundance of activities.
