Approach

By car via Spiez - Frutigen or by 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), there is an hourly service – an ideal base for many excursions.

 

Parking

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

Directions

From the village of Kandersteg, head south towards the International Scout Centre. Turn right there and ascend via the steep path towards Ryharts, then continue to the Allmenalp. The steep but well-maintained ascent to the summit of Bunderspitz follows. Return via Bunderchrinde - Alpschele - Üschinental.

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.

Equipment

Must have:

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

Nice to have:

  • Trail running backpack
  • Headlamp
  • Poles 

Forgot something? No problem: Our sport shops will gladly assist you with the right equipment.

Tips

Instead of walking to the Allmenalp, the tour can be conveniently shortened by taking the cable car to Allmenalp.
