Hiking

Griesalp is the starting point for easy as well as challenging mountain hikes in one of Switzerland’s most beautiful Alpine cultural landscapes. Along the way, rustic mountain inns run personally by the owners make inviting places to stop for a bite to eat and a refreshing drink. Or how about staying overnight? Enjoy a tasty meal, a relaxing evening then fall asleep to the sound of the nearby mountain stream.

You’ll soon sense that hiking on Griesalp you become a different person!

Griesalp nestles between two well-known mountain passes: the Sefinenfurgge to Mürren and the Hohtürli to Kandersteg on the long-distance hiking trail from Lake Constance to Lake Geneva. On the «Hinteren Gasse», «Via Alpina No. 1» and «Bärentreck».

On the Kiental Saga Trails you hike two full-day tours and one half-day tour through our wild and romantic valley, past thundering waterfalls, along panoramic paths and through lush meadows, from one saga setting to another.

You learn how Bundalp got its name, why there is a «Wild Andrist« and a «Tame Andrist», what's going on with the snow-covered Blümlisalp and much more. Don’t miss this hiking experience in the unspoilt natural world of the rear Kiental coupled with fascinating stories from bygone days.

This trail is the most used uphill hike from Tschingel to Pochtenalp, Golderli and Griesalp Kurhaus. Part of the Saga Trails, it makes a great half-day hike.
