Classic walk: Gemmipass Sunnbüel

30% cheaper traveling on aerial cableways

This mountain walk between the Bernese Oberland and Valais offers spectacular views. The starting point is either Kandersteg or Leukerbad. This mountain walk is impressive in either direction, and also suitable for families. From Kandersteg, the Kandersteg-Sunnbüel aerial cableway will take you to Sunnbüel. Via Spittelmatte, the route leads towards the Berghotel Schwarenbach, through the landscape of rôche moutonnées and down to the Daubensee (lake). The rocky slope then takes you up to the Gemmipass plateau, where you can enjoy the views out onto Valais’ giant mountains. 

The hike can be started in Kandersteg or Leukerbad. Both starting points can be easily reached by train and bus.

The hiking possibilities

From the mountain station of the Sunnbüel aerial cableway, you can undertake a variety of hikes and walks.

Some suggestions:

  • Arvenseeli: Stroll to the three deep-blue little melt-water lakes. The small lakes owe their name to the surrounding Swiss stone pine trees. Depending on the amount of snow, they carry water for a shorter or longer period in spring and early summer. In the height of summer, the Arvenseeli are dried up. At the last little lake, there are benches and a well-equipped fireplace with firewood. Duration, circular walk: approx. 1.5 hours
  • Gällihorn: Mountain trail to the look-out summit with views into Kandertal and the snow-covered peak of the Balmhorn. Option to descend into the Ueschinental Valley. Sunnbüel-Gällihorn: approx. 1.5 hours
  • Gurnigel: Descent past the Schwarzbach Ravine into the wildly romantic Gasterntal Valley and past the Kander-Klus waterfall to the valley station of the Sunnbüel aerial cableway. Duration: approx. 2 hours
