    Nature wants you back. The new claim from Switzerland Tourism fits perfectly with this hike. The path leads over open meadows and past alpine huts into the Schilt Valley. A look back at the snow-covered Bernese Alps is always worthwhile. Caution is advised when descending to the waterfall. The path is steep and often slippery. On hot days, the water serves as a welcome refreshment.

    After the obligatory selfie spot at the waterfall, the path meanders through coniferous forests and open meadows back to Mürren.

    Author’s recommendation

    In summer and autumn, the alpine farmers sell delicious mountain cheese.

    Equipment

    • Sun exposure is increased in the mountains. Sunscreen with a high protection factor, a sun hat, and sunglasses with UV protection are definitely essential in your gear.
    • Also, in summer and with nice "starting weather", warm clothing and rain protection must be included. The layering principle with different layers of clothing is recommended.
    • Charged mobile phone
    • First aid kit
