Bussalp via Bachsee to Waldspitz

Once you arrive at Bussalp via the 126 busline, it's worth taking a detour to the viewpoint, which is only 15 minutes away. The view of the Bernese Alps with their imposing peaks is breath-taking. The short route can also serve as a warm-up exercise for the 8-kilometre mountain hike ahead. At the very beginning of the hike towards the field, 365 metres of altitude have to be covered, some of which are strenuous. The route turns into a narrow, steep path on the way. A metal footbridge then takes you along a rock face to the Feld waypoint at 2,165 metres above sea level. You should treat yourself to a little breather there, and not just for the view. Because the most strenuous part is still to come. Along Reeti, snow and mud can make the hike difficult until well into July. Good footwear and hiking poles make it easier to cross such passages. The route leads to almost 2,400 metres above sea level. At the ridge, there are seats at the small shelter where you can rest your legs, which might have become a little heavy by now.

What started out as an uphill section is followed by a downhill section from this waypoint. The hike down to Bachsee is short and varied. The wonderful mountain scenery reflected in the mountain lake invites you to linger. After a short rest and some magical photo moments, we continue on foot towards our destination. Several small and large watercourses cross the hiking trail through Hireleni and gather to form an ever-larger watercourse that plunges into the depths at the Bachläger waterfall. From this waypoint, the hike leads along a well-surfaced road to the Waldspitz bus stop next to the inn of the same name.
