Trail to the Doldenhorn hut

By car via Spiez - Frutigen or by car train from Goppenstein to Kandersteg.

South of the Lötschberg, north of the Kander valley: This train station between Brig (38 min) and Bern (61 min) runs hourly – an ideal base for many excursions.

The destination is set, as is the parking space – on this map vehicle drivers quickly and easily find the suitable parking options in the Oberland community. So then: engine off, running shoes on!

The starting point of your running adventure is at the Reformed Church in Kandersteg. From Kandersteg station, follow the BLS line upstream. At the end of Eisbahnweg, turn left over the bridge and immediately after right into Hüttematteweg. Passing the beautifully preserved Ruedihus, cross the road and run toward the Waldhotel Doldenhorn. Just before the hotel, a forest path branches off to the right – here begins the ascent.

In numerous hairpin bends, the path winds up through the dense mountain forest. At the next junction, keep left. The path now runs with slight ups and downs through the shady forest to the Undere Biberg.

From here, the ascent becomes steeper again. Along the brook, the path rises sharply until you reach the Obere Biberg, where the alpine trail from Fisialp joins. Now it's about 100 meters of elevation to the Doldenhorn hut. 

The more extreme the conditions, the more important the equipment. Longer tours in the mountains require, for example, weatherproof clothing and a small running backpack with provisions.

• Rescue blanket
• Mobile phone
• Food & water
• Wind / rain jacket
• Trail running shoes

Nice to have:

• Trail running backpack
• Headlamp
• Poles

Forgot something? No problem: Our sporting goods stores are happy to help you with suitable equipment.

Starting early is worthwhile – especially in warm temperatures. An impressive panorama awaits at the top. A specialty at the Doldenhorn hut must not be missed.
