You’ll hear it before you see it: the thunder of waterfalls echoing through deep valleys, cowbells ringing in alpine pastures, and your boots crunching along high mountain trails with glaciers on the horizon. This is the Bernese Oberland at its rawest and most beautiful. A place to unplug, reconnect, and move together as a family through landscapes that feel timeless.

This 6-day trek starts in the quiet village of Isenfluh and ends in Kandersteg. Along the way, you’ll cross flower-filled meadows, stay in welcoming mountain huts, and spend a night in Mürren, the iconic village with postcard views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Designed for beginners and active families, this is Swiss adventure at its finest.

    During your Oeschinensee, you will spend your nights in mountain huts. In the mountain huts we normally only book dormitories, but we can look into private rooms on request.

Please note that private rooms are more expensive and there will be an additional charge for this.

Bear in mind that lunch is not included, but it can be purchased at the huts. Here you can also buy an array of snacks and bottled water.
