Description

The starting point of this hike is the mountain station of the Stockhornbahn railway. Before it is worth visiting the panoramic viewing platform on the north wall of the Stockhorn with its panoramic view ranging from Lake Thun to the Jura. The view of over 200 mountain peaks from Titlis to Moléson accompanies hikers on the first metres of the descent via the Stockenfeld towards Oberstockenalp. On a lucky day chamois can be seen balancing confidently on narrow fences. On this hike there are some stations of the adventure path «Habitats on the Stockhorn». Information and documentation materials about this is available free of charge at the valley station of Stockhornbahn railway, free-of-charge. After a hike of around 45 mins across lush alpine pastures you reach the Obserstockenalp guest house. This is ideal for a first break.

Here the landscape changes. Through a light fir forest, the route passes by the enchanted fields of Karstfeld to the Hinterstockenalp. There the idyllic Hinterstickensee lake provides a stop for the second break. Here you can see sports fishermen trying to catch a rainbow trout from the mountain lake. After a short climb you reach the Chrindi middle station.

An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
