Snowshoe hike in the magnificent mountain world on Sunnbüel.

From the Sunnbüel mountain station, the trail leads southwards along the foot of the Üschinengrat. In good weather, there is a wonderful view of the adjacent 3000-meter peaks Altels and Rinderhorn. In the Spittelmatte area, a short descent leads to an alpine hut that invites you to linger. The return path over the plateau passes by the cross-country ski trail and the winter hiking route, which leads via Schwarrenbach to the Gemmi Pass.

Approach

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

Public Transport

South of the Lötschberg, north of the Kander valley: For this station between Brig (38 min.) and Bern (61 min.) there is an hourly schedule – an ideal base for many excursions.

The AFA bus runs every hour within 10 minutes from Kandersteg station to the valley station of the cable car. From there, you can comfortably continue by gondola to 1936 m above sea level.

Parking

The travel destination is set, as is the parking spot – on this map drivers quickly and easily find the suitable parking option in the Upperland community. So then: engine off, hiking boots on!
