The excursion destination is located in the heart of Switzerland on the Brünig Pass on the Lucerne - Interlaken route and is easily accessible by train or car. The Lungern-Turren Railway takes you up to 1562 m above sea level in just a few minutes.M. to the popular Turren-Schönbüel recreation area. This insider tip has blossomed in recent years in the spirit of nature, tranquillity and family-friendliness. Guests can expect a fairytale landscape with breathtaking views of what is probably the most impressive mountain range in Switzerland.
High summer is hiking season. When the snow has also melted at higher altitudes, the time for wonderful ridge hikes begins. Two popular day hikes are from Turren via Mändli to Schönbüel or from Brienzer Rothorn to Turren. Summit conquerors are rewarded with a magnificent panorama of the mountains around the Sarneraa valley from Lucerne to Nidwalden, Obwalden and the Bernese Alps.
The Höch Gumme above Lungern is a rewarding destination with its fantastic 360° panorama. Passing alpine meadows, beautiful summit crosses and fantastic viewpoints, this tour leaves nothing to be desired.
The mosaic of dry meadows of national importance has been proven to be home to over 100 species of diurnal butterflies. The most striking of these are described on 17 information boards along the way. Most of the colorful butterflies can be observed from June to August.
The ridge hike from Schönbüel to the Brienzer Rothorn is rightly regarded as one of the most beautiful high-altitude hikes in Switzerland with magnificent views of the Bernese Alps and Lake Brienz. The hike can be done in both directions.
A walk with views deep into the Lungern basin and far into the Bernese Alps. Far away from the hustle and bustle, the alpine road leads gently uphill around Finsterbüel and to the wonderfully situated, sleepy hut village of Breitenfeld.
