The circular route is considered one of the most beautiful in the Bernese Oberland. After the ascent, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking panorama. From up here, Lake Oeschinen reveals itself in all its splendor. A place to enjoy and linger before descending over alpine meadows from Oberbärgli via Underbärgli down to Lake Oeschinen. If you like, you can round off the day with a refreshing swim. With some luck and patience, ibex and chamois can be spotted on this circular route.

Approach
