The Arvenseeli, three deep blue mountain lakes in the picturesque Arvenwald!
Walk to the three deep blue Arvenseeli in the Arvenwald fed by meltwater amidst a magnificent mountain world. Especially beautiful from late May (note Sunnbüel cable car timetable) to around mid-July. Depending on the amount of snow, the lakes contain water for a shorter or longer period in spring or early summer. From summer onwards, the Arvenseeli are dried up. At the furthest lake, there is a beautiful and well-equipped fire pit with benches and firewood.
Take the cable car from Kandersteg to Sunnbüel. Lovely circular hike.
Variant: For endurance hikers, a trail leads from Eggenschwand up to Sunnbüel. Ascent: 2 hours
