First - Bachalpsee - Faulhorn - Bussalp
For 165 years, the Faulhorn has been casting its spell on visitors. A favourite viewpoint with an impressive panorama of the giants of the Bernese Oberland, over the Brienzergrat and down to the basin of the lakes of Thun and Brienz, it has lost none of its attraction today.
Schynige Platte - Faulhorn - First
A classical panoramic trail to Europes oldest mountain hostel.
A unique panorama trail above the tree line. On the Schynige Platte one becomes aware of the wonderful contrasts in colour between the firn dazzling summits, the green valleys and the Lütschine and Aare rivers.Well worth a visit are the alpine gardens with over 500 native plants, as well as the 2 hours round trip with a beautiful view onto the lakes of Thun and Brienz. On the trail from the Schynige Platte to First you will pass two quitely different mountain lakes, the Sägistal- and Bachalp lakes. A visit to Europes oldest mountain hostel (170 years old) on the Faulhorn and the breathtaking views of the summits around Grindelwald, as you carry on to First, make this hike unique and well worth the long effort. The trail is completely natural and expectantly rough.

Nordic walking
Nordic walking exercises the whole body, using 85% of the total musculature. It is an endurance sport similar to jogging and walking but avoiding the pressure on knee joints normally caused by this type of sport.
Sport climbing
Finding a way, deciding, moving, persevering and winning, or taking a risk and failing. All this in harmony with nature and the rock.
