The Gibel is actually an inconspicuous grassy hill in the foothills of the mountain range above the Balisalp. Nevertheless, the panorama from the summit is outstanding, with the Bernese High Alps and the weatherhorn, which is especially distinctive for the Hasliberg region, serving as eye-catchers throughout the entire hike. A simple and exquisite hike for late summer and autumn.

 

From the Käserstatt mountain station, follow the signs towards Gibel, which lead directly to the gently ascending and extremely scenic high trail. Upon reaching the flat Schonegg pass, the panorama widens towards the distinctive Güpfi and the Pilatus located to the right behind it. Fifteen minutes later, after reaching the Gibel, the view of Lake Brienz is added. If hiking in late summer, arrival at the 2035-meter-high grassy hill may be delayed due to walking through lush blueberry fields.

On the other side of the Gibel, we descend to the junction P.1982 and turn left to P.1976, where you can enjoy once again the outstanding panorama from the Hasli valley across the Bernese High Alps towards Interlaken. Over alpine pastures, the route then leads first on a hiking trail and then on an alpine road down to the alpine settlement Balisalp/Vordere Stafel. At the junction by the alpine huts (alpine cheese available), we keep to the right and follow the children's theme trail Muggestutz for 300 meters to the alpine restaurant Balisalp, where a stop is highly recommended (open only on weekends). From Balisalp, we follow the yellow signposts towards Lischen, the mid-station of the cable car. Taking the cable car down shortens the hike by half an hour. Those who hike down to Twing turn right about 300 meters before the mid-station, following the signs to Wasserwendi and later to Twing. Those wanting to stop at the Hasliberg bathing lake follow the panoramic trail towards Hohfluh in Wasserwendi. Shortly after the REKA holiday village, there is the beautifully located bathing lake with an associated bistro. From there, it is only a few meters down to the Twing valley station.
