The Biberg loop follows varied trails through forest and across meadows above Kandersteg. The route begins along the Oeschibach before climbing steadily towards Biberg. Along the way, there are repeated views over the Kandertal.

At the top, the trail crosses the scenic Biberg plateau. The return leads on pleasant paths through light forest and open terrain back down to the valley. A varied loop with a calm alpine character.

Author’s recommendation

Ideal for an easy training session or a relaxed evening run. Especially beautiful in clear weather or during early morning and evening light.
