    We hiked Mürren to Schilthorn via Rota Härd to Rotstockhütte. An absolutely brilliant hike. The detour in the direction of Rota Härd is poorely marked but imho doable. We hiked the two of us (father 52 and daughter 17) and stayed close to eachother to mitigate the risk of rockfall at this detour. The boulderfields further down in the marked trail (white red white) exposes more danger than this detour imho. Absolutely fantastic hike, we only met 2 fellow hikers. Schilthorn was touristic chaos, we skipped the 007 revolving restaurant because of the waiting line and smell of old people. Rotstockhütte was oldskool hutting I would say. No electricity, no shower, fully packed dormitory including the smell of wet socks. Loved it! This was our first hike ever, all it took was perseverance and a couple of energy bars. Everyone we spoke to said 1600hm on your first day on your first hike is a no go, glad we did not listen :-)

    On peut aller voir la cascade la naissance des sources thermale en faisant un détour à pied d’une dizaine de minutes. Les chemins sont roulants et agréables. quelques petits passages un peu technique, mais on peut les faire à pied et il s’agit de 20 m.

    Eine sehr schöne aber eher schwere Wanderung. Es geht von Adelboden ca.2:00 nur Bergauf und der letzte Teil bis zur Bunderchrinde extrem steil und das ganze auf der Rückseite genau gleich. Aber alles mit atemberaubender Aussicht. Nur mit sehr guter Kondition. Ich habe diese.

    Der Rotstock Klettersteig bietet eine wunderschöne Aussicht und ist leicht zu begehen, fast ausschliesslich A A/B. Die einzige B Stelle ist gut zu bewältigen. Eher schwierig fand ich den letzten Teil vom Zustieg zum Klettersteig und der Abstieg ist teilweise sehr steil und an einigen festen Seilen nur mit klettern zu meistern. Bei Nässe und Eis/Schnee gefährlich und davon abzuraten. Leider fehlt am letzten Stück bis zum Gipfelkreuz an der schwierigsten Stelle ein Drahtseil zum einklinken, der Abhang ist nur was für absolut Schwindelfreie und ohne Sicherung nicht zu empfehlen. Hier würde ich mir noch eine Sicherung wünschen. Alles in Allem aber ein toller Klettersteig an der Nordwand vom berühmten Eiger.

    This walk is highly recommended for anyone looking for an easy hike. There are stretches of asphalt at the start and end, while the rest of the route follows a well-maintained unpaved path. In good weather, the views are truly breathtaking. Wooden benches are placed along the way, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the scenery at your leisure.

    Wir haben diese Tour "per Zufall" gemacht, als wir eigentlich auf den Niesen wollten und die Bahn dort bereits ausgebucht war und wir waren begeistert vom Wiriehorn! Wir erlebten einen Alpaufzug, sahen Murmeli und Enzian - Swissness pur 🏔 Es ist schon steil aber die Wege waren gut und die Aussicht auf das berner Oberland wunderbar

    Beautiful views- a great first hike! Pay attention at Waldspitz- we followed the wrong arrow to Bort (the town not the lift- we think!) and had to backtrack. The map was correct, we were not!
