The north ramp trail follows the historic Lötschberg mountain route and on the return partly runs directly along the railway line, partly with scenic views above it. Spectacular views open up again and again on viaducts, spiral tunnels, and the Kandertal. The trail offers a good mix of smoothly runnable sections and slightly technical passages – ideal for varied units with plenty of panorama.
Approach
By car via Spiez - Frutigen or the car train from Goppenstein to Kandersteg.
Public Transport
South of the Lötschberg, north the Kandertal: For this train station between Brig (38 min) and Bern (61 min), an hourly schedule applies – an ideal base for many excursions.
Parking
The travel destination is set, the parking spot as well – on this map vehicle drivers quickly and easily find the right parking option in the Oberland community. Well then: engine off, running shoe on!
Directions
The trail follows the north ramp downstream via Mitholz to Kandergrund along a natural road. At the old BKW in Kandergrund, turn right towards the church. On the way back to Kandersteg, you walk along a narrow path, mostly above the railway line with beautiful views of the Kandertal.
Alternative: Return by bus from Altels in Kandergrund or continue along the side road to Frutigen and return by train/bus to Kandersteg.
Safety Instructions
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.

Tips
With a bit of luck, you can observe a train on the loop tracks – a special highlight. Thanks to several train and bus stops along the route, the trail is flexibly planable and easily shorten-able. Also a good option in bad weather.
