A true adventure awaits you at Bachalpsee. This breathtaking place is a must for all nature lovers and hikers.
Several hikes lead past the Bachalpsee. We present two of them to you here
If you take the Säumerweg (mule track) behind the lake, you will pass two huts and finally reach the Gassenboden. A few turns further up is the traditional Faulhorn Berghotel. The hotel is closed in winter, but you have the possibility to test the 15 km longest toboggan run in Europe If there is enough snow, you can sled down the "Big Pintenfritz" to Grindelwald
If a toboggan ride is not on your to-do list, you can make the descent via Gassenboden, which is quite steep. You have to fight your way through the wide alpine hollow of Bussalp until you reach Oberläger. This is the terminus of the Bussalp post bus. From there you take the bus back to Grindelwald.
If you want to continue hiking, you can take the hiking route to Waldspitz and Bort. This trail leads you through a true paradise of colorful flowers to Bachläger. More than 60 species of flowers line the way and you will be led on narrow paths through unique landscapes. The view of the Grindelwald Glacier, the Wetterhorn and the Eiger North Face is particularly impressive here.
From Bachläger you reach the Waldspitz in another 20 minutes. Below the restaurant you turn into the steep but beautiful path that winds through the forest. After another 40 minutes you have reached the middle station Bort of the Firstbahn. Here you can decide whether you want to go to Grindelwald or continue hiking. When you finally have enough of hiking, there are two options: the Firstbahn, or with the Trottibike. With this you will make the way in the shortest time and no effort.
As you can see, Bachalpsee is a great and easy to reach destination from Grindelwald First.
