Lake Bachalp
Intro
A famous mountain lake near the Grindelwald First, 2,265m above sea level. This is a “mirror lake” which reflects the Wetterhorn, Schreckhorn, Finsteraarhorn and the Grindelwald glacier on the lake surface. Because of its beauty, Lake Bachalp is also known as the “Jewel of the Alps”.
While it is called Bachalpsee by the locals, it is also known simply as Bachsee. From early summer to autumn, when the snow has melted, you can take a walk of about 50-minutes from the First observatory to the beautiful Bachalpsee.
Guests can enjoy unique alpine plants on this popular hiking trail. In the early morning and at dusk, when it is calm and there is no wind, the mountain reflections in the lake are particularly beautiful to capture. The imposing Schreckhorn, with its rugged ridges, rises just in front.
