Oeschinen Lake, Canton of Bern, Switzerland

5.0 (721 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #1 in Kandersteg Bodies of Water

Breathtaking

Oeschinensee is accessible by foot from Kandersteg within 1.5 hours. The cable car operates in summer and winter season daily from mornings till evenings - non stop. In summer enjoy swimming in the lake, boat rides on the blue and clear water or just have fun with the toboggan run at the top station of the cable car. Several hotels around the lake offer rooms in summer. Restaurants are open in winter and summer. The region belongs to the Unesco heritage Jungfrau-Aletsch.

    We Loved it
    Check the weather first. The restaurant was very good, and reasonably priced , There is a shuttle bus for those with limited mobility 8chf but money well spent check the weather before you go. In the winter time the lake up there is frozen solid so u can walk on it, We were there just as the leaves were changing it was beautiful. There are plenty of activities for the whole family and if you want to bring your dogs its great Also a fabulous place for a family picnic with great views .

    Beautiful scenery.
    We came up to the lake in the afternoon. To get to the lake you have to walk about a mile from the Gondola to the actual lake. Fortunately for us there was an electric tram service down to the lake for 8 Swiss franc each way. A real lifesaver fro older people that do not have the stamina to make the walk. The restaurants at the lake were very nice.
