Alpine Magic at Oeschinen Lake
Why have you never heard of Oeschinen Lake? It must be one of those places that just has the bad luck of being in the neighborhood of so many other amazing places that it gets forgotten.
There's nothing quite like spending a beautiful day in the Swiss Alps. A sense of renewal and promise is in the air. Pristine nature and scenic beauty replenish the body's energy.
Oeschinen Lake is a lake in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, 4 kilometers east of Kandersteg in the Oeschinen valley. At an elevation of 1,578 meters, it has a surface area of 1.1 square kilometers. Its maximum depth is 56 meters.
The lake is fed through a series of mountain creeks and drains underground. The water then resurfaces as the Oeschibach. Part of it is captured for electricity production and as a water supply for Kandersteg.
How to get there? From Kandersteg, take the gondola to a location near the lake. It’s about a 30-minute walk through forest and pasture to the lake. Likewise, it’s possible to hike to and from the lake from Kandersteg—it’s about an hour up—or take the gondola up and hike down.
Hikers, mountain bikers and cross-country skiers love this area as it has (challenging) options for all three. But if easy lakeside trails and an uncomplicated paddle tour are more your pace, you’ll also be happy here.
Hiking at Oeschinen Lake should be squeezed into your Switzerland trip. This mountain lake in the Swiss Alps is a true eye-catcher and scores with its beautiful color and its mountainous surroundings.
