    Beautiful views down into the impressive gorge of the Schwarzbach

    Hike from Sunnbüel station towards Spittelmatte. Continue to Stierebärgli where you turn right and reach the Schwarzbach on a steep and narrow path. When crossing it, you have a beautiful view down into the impressive gorge. After a rock passage, the path leads over some stairs with fixed ropes and further through light mountain forest to the Waldhaus (restaurant) in Gasternholz. From there, follow the hiking trail towards Kandersteg.
    Slippery conditions on steep earthy sections when wet. Only suitable for sure-footed hikers (fixed ropes, short wooden ladder, and stairs).

    South of the Lötschberg, north of the Kander valley: for this station between Brig (38 min) and Bern (61 min), there is an hourly service – an ideal base for many excursions.

    The AFA bus runs every hour within 10 minutes from Kandersteg station to the valley station of the cable car. From there, you comfortably continue by gondola to 1936 m above sea level.
