Description
This hike impresses with magnificent views of the Schreckhorn group and the catchment area of the two Grindelwald glaciers. A deep blue mountain lake in which the mighty peaks of the Bernese four-thousanders are reflected makes this route particularly attractive.
From First, a well-developed hiking trail leads gently up and down to the shore of the idyllic Bachalpsee. From there, the path rises on the so-called mule track towards Burgihütte. Passing small shelters, you reach Gassenboden. It continues to the final destination with some switchbacks - the Berghotel Faulhorn.
The same path can be taken to return, for example.
An additional highlight is the First Cliff Walk, which can be done as a finale.
