Arvenseeli
The Arvenseeli are three deep blue mountain lakes above the Bernese municipality of Kandersteg. The lakes are located on the Sunnbüel plateau, a few hundred metres north of the Valais cantonal border at an altitude of 1888 metres above sea level. The Arveseeli offer crystal-clear, deep-blue water and lie in the midst of lush alpine pastures and mighty fir (or stone pine) trees.
The Arveseeli are fed by meltwater. Depending on the amount of snow, the lakes have water for a shorter or longer period in spring or early summer. From summer onwards, the Arvenseeli dry up. At the back of the lake is a beautiful and well-equipped fireplace with benches and firewood.
Hikes lead from the Sunnbüel mountain station to the Caribbean-like Arvenseeli in about half an hour.
Approach
By car to Kandersteg, follow Dorfstrasse to the Sunnbüel valley station. If you are traveling from the south, drive via Brig to Goppenstein and then use the car train on the Lötschberg
