This 5 day trek covers the highlights of the Alpine Pass route. Starting in the beautiful farming town of Gsteig our first day of walking takes us over 2 passes; Krinenpass 1701m and Stigelli Pass 2084m into the Simenfalle Valley. From here you will trek alongside pristine waterfalls and then over the Amertenpass 2443m down into Engstligenalp where you will hear the chime of cowbells echoeing throughout the hanging valley. You will spend the night in Adelboden before walking across the Bunderchrind col 1385m and then descending down into Kandersteg. Your 4th day of trekking takes us up past Oeschinensee lake up to our highest point on the Hohturli pass 2778m. On a good day you can see the Eiger from before trekking down to the quaint towns of Grisalp and Kiental. Your last day off trekking involves an ascent using steps and chains over the Sefinnenfurgge pass 2612m. Once you arrive on the otherside of the pass you are greeted by the magnificent views of the Lauterbrunnen valley and the Eiger. There is even time to stop for hot chocolate and cake at the Rotstuckhutte. Finally you will then have 2 nights in Lauterbrunnen to spend exploring the Jungfrau region and take in the magnificent views of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau.
