Enjoy the impressive mountain world at the foot of the Wellhorn and dare to take a look at the wild Engelhörner. The Schwarzwaldalp is the starting point for many attractive hiking and mountain bike tours. Marvel at how the over 100 years old saw is powered by ingenious technology and concentrated energy from nature, enabling it to perform the purest precision work.

Grosse Scheidegg–Oberläger–Pfanni–Schwarzwaldalp

On this extremely varied mountain hike, you will be accompanied by the majestic Wetterhorn and the rugged Engelhorn group. From the Grosse Scheidegg, the route leads gently up and down to the Gratschärm, where you turn right and the path leads to the Scheidegg Oberläger.

After a beautiful and pleasant hiking trail, you will come to a somewhat steeper section that leads to the Pfanni. Alternatively, you can also take the path from Scheidegg Oberläger via Hornseeli to Pfanni.

On the descent, the trail leads across alpine meadows, past mountain huts to Schwarzwaldalp. If time permits, it is worth visiting the old Schwarzwaldalp sawmill or the imposing Rosenlaui gorge.

From the Schwarzwaldalp, the yellow Grindelwald bus will take you back to Grindelwald or Meiringen.
