We rode the gondola up. Paid approx 25 francs then hiked approx 6 miles to get here. The hike is moderate. About one mile the trail is so narrow on the side of the mountain that cables are provided for hand grips. I will admit I could not look over the edge. My eyes were glued on the 12 inches in front of me. Food delicious. Remarkable views. Our group had three rounds of beer. I had superb coffee and cheese and garden salad. It's soooo worth the day to come up from Kandersteg. The bus goes to the gondola from Kandersteg. Or you can walk the 15 minutes to the gondola. Many different hikes to get here. Just ask at the top which one gets you to the hotel. read more
