--- title: "To the enchanting Bachsee" url: "https://www.interlaken.swiss/en/experiences/tour/to-the-enchanting-bachsee" description: "At the mountain station of the First cable car, a special attraction awaits: The First Cliff Walk by Tissot. A suspension bridge and a walkway lead around the rock head. They allow impressive views of the majestic mountain world. To be admired are the Eiger, a waterfall, alpine pastures as well as forests. It seems as if Mönch and Jungfrau hide behind the Eiger. On the signpost at the starting point of the hike, the destination Bussalp as well as the intermediate destinations Bachsee and Spitzen are marked. Hence, the route can be found easily. The first section to Bachsee is marked as a hiking trail. The ascent proceeds leisurely on a forest road past a moor landscape. The view of the two lakes is enchanting. No wonder that the path from First to here is a popular excursion. Then it continues upwards on a path marked as a mountain hiking trail. At Spitzen you turn right and reach the Fernandes hut via a ridge. According to the inscription it was built after 1992. Now the hike goes downhill through scree and boulder fields, later over alpine pastures. Steeper or flatter, the route leads past Alp Feld to Oberläger. Now the Mönch and Jungfrau can also be seen. Further on are Kleine Scheidegg, Lauberhorn, Tschuggen, and Männlichen. Over a steep descent through alpine pastures you reach the destination Bussalp." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://img.oastatic.com/img2/25094400/max/variant.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > www.interlaken.swiss/en/ > Experiences > Tour" --- GPX Share To the enchanting Bachsee ========================= - 8.83 km long - Difficulty: easy - Condition: very easy - Hiking Trail - 3:00 h - 8.83 km - 276 m - 760 m - 1,796 m - 2,404 m - 608 m - - Start: First, cable car - Destination: Bussalp **The medium-length mountain hike without special demands offers views of the enchanting Bachsee, peaks of the high mountains, and alpine pastures.
