Day 1: Our starting point will be in Mürren on Saturday morning. We will depart just in time for the first connection from Interlaken to arrive. Our morning challenge will take us up 1’330 meters to the top of Schilthorn, where we will meet the lazy hikers who chose to take the gondola instead. After having lunch, we will follow the walk of fame ridge hike for about two kilometers, before turning off the ridge. After some descend, we have to climb some altitude again to cross the Sefinenfurgge Pass. From there, it is only downhill to get to Bundsteg, where we will say goodbye to our friends who will not join day 2. Our hike will continue back up the mountain for a bit to get us to Obere Bundalp, where we will have dinner and spend the night. – The Bundalp is not a hotel, or even a mountain hut. It is an alpine farm that has some spare rooms, but they do offer a shower for a small fee. Overall, we can expect good food, a shower and a bed, and an early breakfast. Day Totals: Distance 20.4km, Ascend 2’060 meters, Descend 1’860 meter – Short Version: Distance 11.9km, Ascend 720 meters, Descend 1’850 meters
Day 2: After a refreshing sleep, we plan to get an alpine start early in the morning and have breakfast before six. We have most of our days ascend right in front of us and want to get it past us as early as possible. We plan to start our hike between 6 and 6:30 and are heading up to Bluemlisalphuette for a second coffee and a snack. From there, we will have covered most of the ascend for the day, and will head down to Berghaus Unterbaergli for a snack or an early lunch. Then we will head past the world famous instagram spot, lake Oeschinen, before heading down to Kandersteg trainstation. Those who wish can also take the gondola down. Our planned time table suggest arrival at Kandersteg train station between 14:00 and 16:00 o’clock on Sunday. Day Totals: Distance, 15.4km, Ascend 1’000 meters, Descend 1’670 meters.
