best season
The PostBus takes you comfortably from Oey-Diemtigen to the starting point, the Anger cattle showground in Zwischenflüh. From here, the hiking trail leads up towards the Seeberg lake, whereby you hike along a section of the mountain road towards Meniggrund. Shortly afterwards, however, you take the well-maintained hiking trail again, up to Tärfete, where you quickly gain height. The view is already brilliant here, but the highlight, the Turne, is still to come. The panoramic view on the Turne is simply unique and a fine lunch from the rucksack is just what you need.
As soon as you have had your fill, you start the descent via the "Pfaffe" to the "Rinderalp". Here you can fortify yourself with a fine coffee and local products. Via Alp Tschuggen - where you can also taste and buy products from the alp - you hike further downhill to the village of Diemtigen to the PostBus stop. Optionally, you can also hike the last section to Oey-Diemtigen railway station, which will take you an additional 30 minutes.
General information
Directions
From the livestock showground take the hiking trail towards lake Seeberg. After a short ascent, the hiking trail runs along the mountain road towards Meniggrund. After a short stretch, follow the hiking trail towards "Tärfete", where you will quickly gain altitude. You pass "Vordertärfete" and in "Hintertärfete" you continue on the hiking trail towards "Turnen". For the descent, you go down via "Pfaffe" to "Rinderalp", then via "Alp Tschuggen" to "Diemtigen". From there, the PostBus takes you back to Oey-Diemtigen station. If the timetable doesn't work out, you can also reach the village of Oey on foot (approx. 30 min., not included in the hiking time).
