Oberhornsee is a tiny, attractive lakelet set deep in the mountains in the Upper Lauterbrunnental.

Oberhornsee lake is small (in dry spells, almost comically small) and cold, and is not visible until you reach it.  It’s a nice place for a quick swim on a warm day, and a very pleasant afternoon could be spent simply lounging by the lake.

It is reached about 1½ hrs past Obersteinberg, and is a great "extra credit" hike for people on our Bernese Oberland tours who are staying the night at Obersteinberg.
