  • This well made and maintained staircase leads to the Hohtürli Pass. The ascent takes about 20 minutes. Tired quadriceps, a heart full of accomplishment and a pat on the back await you at the top!
  • Looking down and encouraging our hikers!
  • Ahhhh! At the top of Hohtürli Pass. Elevation 2778m. This day is one example of the amazing weather Switzerland can great you with hiking the Hohtürli Pass.
  • This area, hiking from Hohtürli, is known as Oberberg. The cable is new in 2011. A steady and adventurous way to pass the glacier run off. Don't worry--there is a wooden bridge around the corner if you're not feeling so adventurous!
  • Never a dull day when hiking in Switzerland.
  • Another view of the cable crossing.
  • This is Judy Strickler, one of our guides, enjoying the breathtaking beauty of the Swiss Alps.
  • Crossing from Oberberg, we crest over to Oeschinensee, above Kandersteg.
  • The northwest view of Oeschinensee.
  • Hiking down from Oberberg, toward Oeshinensee.
  • Hiking toward Unterberg, a small restaurant above Oeschinensee.
  • Unterberg! A great place for a cold drink after an exceptional day of hiking.
  • Oeschinensee.
  • Enjoying a rest before picking up the group for the remainder of the hike.
