Cross over a pass that leads along an ancient mule trail. Once we reach the Hahnenmoospass we ease our way down along a stream through a peaceful mossy forest to a traditional mountain resort for the night. We hike into a lush forest, through a screen-filled gully and to a rocky pass laden with snowfields. The serenity amongst these layered rocky crags and giant massifs are truly incredible. At this higher elevations a magnificent panoramic view of two glacial valleys opens up and if we're lucky mountain cibyx offer a great photo opportunity.
Several options are available from enjoying the local color to spectacular day-hikes.
Before our ascent we stop at the Oeschinensee, considered by many as Switzerland's most beautiful Alpine lake. The rugged beauty of the Alps is unparalleled, a hiker's paradise. Our last day is spent hiking along trails that are favored by many of our Swiss friends. The beauty is continuous and the sense of this being our final day is hard to believe. Transfer to Interlaken station on day 8.
