Enjoyable autumn hikes in the Holiday Region Interlaken

On bright and clear autumn days, the panorama trail from the Niederhorn to the Gemmenalphorn is very special. For early risers, this tour promises rich rewards. With luck, you will even spot chamois, ibex and marmots along the way. Throughout the walk, the pin-sharp outlines guarantee fabulous views of the mighty white peaks of the Bernese Oberland. Deep blue Lake Thun glimmers on one side of the ridge, while on the north side the idyllic Justistal is neatly defined by steep mountain slopes. Along the way, why not stop and enjoy a picnic on one of the benches.
 

The striking shades of mesmerising moorland enchant those who venture to the Lombachalp; the extensive nature reserve is full of surprises. One beautiful tour is the 90-minute circular hike from Lägerstutz via Winterröscht and Färrich, taking in the mighty firs, mountain pines and gentle streams of an impressively rugged landscape. Take a break at a peaceful barbecue point or round off your trek with an enjoyable meal and a glass of white wine at the Jägerstübli restaurant.
 

Want to experience golden autumnal moments on foot? We recommend the circular route that takes you to Lake Hinterburgseeli on the Axalp. On the way to the green alpine lake in the nature reserve, the «Schnitzlerweg» (woodcarving trail) passes hand-carved wooden sculptures. As you progress, your perspective of the shimmering turquoise tones of Lake Brienz continually alters. Complete your walk by stopping off at the Hilten restaurant for delicious Swiss herdsman’s rösti, served with stunning views.

The culinary trail on the Stockhorn invites you to keep fit in natural surroundings while enjoying regional products. On this walk you enjoy a three-course menu of local specialities at three different mountain restaurants. Before embarking on the panoramic trail, you fortify yourself with a starter at the midway station, while the Panorama Restaurant serves the main course at the summit. Next you walk on to the Oberstockenalp, where a tempting dessert awaits. The final stage culminates in a small surprise back at the midway station.
 

Think a cheese fondue is only for the winter? In Sigriswil, which overlooks the right bank of Lake Thun, you can savour a Swiss fondue at any time of year. With a unique fondue rucksack your autumn excursion becomes a culinary experience. The practical rucksack contains everything needed for a delicious cheese fondue surrounded by nature. You could, for example, enjoy the culinary treat on a walk to the «Blueme» lookout point. Your tour starts in Sigriswil and leads over the spectacular suspension bridge to the neighbouring village of Aeschlen. From here you climb to the viewpoint. The "Blueme" tower offers fantastic views stretching from Jura to the Bernese Alps.
