--- title: "High-altitude hike with Bernese prominence" url: "https://www.thunersee.ch/en/experiences/tour/high-altitude-hike-with-bernese-prominence" description: "At the Sulwald mountain station we ascend towards the Lobhorn Hut through the Guferwald to the Alp Suls. Behind the Alp huts of Suls, we keep left towards Sulsseewli. Shortly after the mountain lake, we turn right and approach the Lobhorn Hut. A piece of finest apricot or hazelnut cake promises a treat for the palate and offers the eyes a breathtaking view of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. We return directly to Alp Suls, from where we follow the well-known hiking trail for another 200 m, until it branches right over a bridge. Now we stay on the high trail to the Naterwengli crossroads (P.1785). We descend left to the Sousbach near Sousläger. Crossing the bridge, we ascend on the other side to the path junction P.1703, where we turn left. At the fork Läger (P.1767), we keep left again. This soon leads us into the Marcheggwald, which takes us down to the Grütschalp mountain station. Those who wish can hike from Grütschalp along the railway line to Mürren and have a nice opportunity to stop halfway at the Winteregg restaurant (additional 1 h 15 min)." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://img.oastatic.com/img2/64149071/max/variant.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > www.thunersee.ch > Experiences > Tour" --- GPX Share High-altitude hike with Bernese prominence ========================================== - 9.70 km long - Difficulty: medium - Condition: easy - Great panorama - Hiking Trail - 3:50 h - 9.70 km - 750 m - 780 m - 1,486 m - 1,958 m - 472 m - - Start: Sulwald - Destination: Grütschalp **The easy and short hike from Grütschalp along the railway line to Mürren is very popular. Considerably less frequented but still scenic is the high-altitude hike from Sulwald through the Soustal to Grütschalp. This route scores with a fascinating view towards Eiger-Mönch-Jungfrau. A short but worthwhile detour via the mountain lake Sulsseewli to the beautifully located Lobhorn Hut is highly recommended.** At the Sulwald mountain station we ascend towards the Lobhorn Hut through the Guferwald to the Alp Suls.
