VORSASS BODENALP – BEATENBERG STATION

An easy hike for all. From Vorsass the trail leads into a snow covered forest where it is possible to see deer or mountain goats in search of food.
Until Bodenalp it’s a slight descent on wide paths. After Bodenalp the trail continues through the forest. At Haberelegi the forest opens up and you can enjoy a clear view over Lake Thun across to the Niesen and the Kander valley.
Now you are already halfway and the best part of the hike begins with breathtaking views. It is possible to see deer or mountain goats here at dusk. This leads on to short parts of forest and open pastures until you reach the first houses of Beatenberg.
