Description
Horizontweg - A varied day route from Alpen Tower to Engstlenalp amid impressive mountain scenery.
The hike begins with a scenic gondola ride up to the Alpen tower. The fantastic 360° panoramic view far beyond the Bernese Oberland and Central Swiss high Alps impresses again and again. From Planplatten via Balmeregghorn, the path winds along the mountain to Tannensee. From the very first moment, breathtaking views and diverse flora impress. From the Tannalp above Spycherflue, it goes to Engstlenalp. The Engstlensee invites you to relax and refresh.
Transport
There are various driving options by car. From Geneva, the fastest way leads via Bern. From Zurich or Basel, the route via Lucerne and the Brünig Pass is the quickest. The pass is open in summer and winter.
From the south, the approach leads via Grimsel or Susten Pass to the region. Both passes are only open in summer. Alternatively, the Simplon Pass and subsequently the Lötschberg car shuttle are an option.
