Winter and snow shoe hiking in the Stockhorn area

Discover the snow-covered winter landscape around the Stockhorn, far from the hustle and bustle of the ski slopes. Winter hiking trails and snowshoe routes lead around frozen Lake Hinterstocken and to the idyllic Oberbärgli alpine huts on the Lasenberg.

Winter trails between lake and mountain panorama

The winter hiking trails and snowshoe routes start at Chrindi middle station, which you can reach by cable car from Erlenbach i.S. Surrounded by the snow-covered landscape, you can enjoy peace and impressive views. A detour to the mountain station is also worthwhile: from the Stockhorn, you can enjoy sweeping views over Lake Thun and the Bernese Oberland. The panoramic restaurant at the mountain station also offers a breakfast buffet all year round as well as a 5-course moonlight dinner.

The Bern–Spiez–Zweisimmen RegioExpress takes you from Bern to Erlenbach i.S. in less than an hour without changing trains. The valley station of the Stockhorn cableway is around a 15-minute walk from the station.

There are four signposted snow shoe trails of varying levels of difficulty on the Stockhorn.
