Stockhorn & Star Bed: Panoramic Views, Caves, and a Night in a Star Bed
Overview
Intro
Two days full of contrasts in the Bernese Oberland: sweeping panoramic views from the Stockhorn, a night in a Stärnebett igloo above Lake Oberstockensee. A weekend that blends vastness and depth, tranquility and adventure.
A special hiking weekend in the Stockhorn region—featuring breathtaking panoramic views, an extraordinary overnight stay, and one of the most exciting gorge hikes in the region. Two days that could hardly be more different—and that’s exactly why they’ll stay with you.
The tour is intentionally limited to a maximum of 6 participants—making the experience in the star bed all the more exclusive. It’s worth registering early.
Day 1 – Panoramic Views at the Stockhorn
We’ll start in the area around Lake Hinterstocken and immediately immerse ourselves in a stunning mountain landscape. The trail leads past the two Stocken Lakes and continues toward the Stockhorn, accompanied by sweeping views across Lake Thun and all the way to the Bernese Alps.
The ascent to the Stockhorn takes us along scenic passages up to the ridge—an impressive experience with vast vistas and deep views below.
In the evening comes the highlight of the weekend: spending the night in a “star bed” at Oberstockenalp. The stylish sleeping igloos offer a special experience under the starry sky—unheated, but surprisingly comfortable thanks to their design.
Day 2 – Gorges and Caves of Weissenburg
On Sunday morning, the mountain railway takes us back down to the valley (included in the booking). We then drive a short distance further into the Simmental, where we begin our second hike.
The route leads through the impressive Buuschebach Gorge near Weissenburg, past rock formations, streams, and shaded sections. Along the way, we’ll discover the Mamilloch and Zwergliloch caves and cross a suspension bridge—an entertaining hike offering fascinating geological insights and constantly surprising views.
At the end of the hike, participants make their own way home from Oberwil in the Simmental.
