From Kandersteg into Gasterntal to Waldhaus. Into the valley as far as Gasternholz. Here the route turns off to the right. At this point you will notice a sign to indicate whether the mountain hut is supervised. On the secure and well maintained mountain route through woodland glades and rocky sections climb up to the Alpine bowl-shaped hollow below the northern face of the Balmhorn. Head north across the mountain streams to the mountain hut.
Alternative route: By the Gasterntal bus (timetable) from Kandersteg railway station to Neubrücke Hotel Waldhaus (booking essential).
Approach
