- Destination: Isenfluh
The small mountain village of Isenfluh, the destination of this stage, is located with a view above the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Those coming from above are already impressed by the might of the famous trio Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. And even more so by the rugged forest and rocky landscape between the magnificent viewpoint Bällehöchst, the Chüematte plateau with the attractively placed Lobhornhütte SAC and the "energy-charged" Soustal. Especially Chüebodmi, Fritzenbrüggli and the Sulsseeli are considered such places. The Saustal with its downward rushing stream and the large boulders invites you to rest and play in nature – ideal for families. Along the way you also pass the Suls-Lobhornhütte, which is located northeast of the Lobhörner on a high plateau of the Sulsalp and belongs to the SAC section Lauterbrunnen. Those who want to shorten the long day a bit can float down to Isenfluh with the rather old cable car from Sulwald, which saves about 500 meters of altitude (033 855 22 49, isenfluh.ch).
