Description
By gondola, you go up to Rinderberg. Extensive alpine pastures and steep wild hay meadows characterize this high-altitude hike. At the end of the Gandlouen ridge, you descend via Parwengechessel and Undere Zwitzeregg to the Rüwlisepass. Then the path gains altitude to Heuberg. Caution, the path is narrow and steeply descending and runs high above the Turbach valley towards the Trüttlisberg pass. From there, the path leads through the impressive gypsum craters - “Gryden” (caution: very slippery rock in wet weather!) with views of the Lenk mountains to the Leiterli mountain station (Betelberg). From Leiterli, you take the gondola down to Lenk and return by train to Zweisimmen.
