Bussalp via Bort to Unterer Lauchbühl

Already the starting point invites you to linger. Bussalp is a place where you can really letting your mind wander. At almost 1,800 metres above sea level, the view sweeps over the imposing peaks of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau as well as the alpine meadows with their colourful flowers. A path leads across the pastures and Büössalpbach stream down to Holzmatten at 1,690 metres above sea level. On the following section of dirt track, you walk through sparse woodland towards Rasthysi. The high mountain peaks, such as Schreckhorn, come into view time and again. Rasthysi (rasten = to rest) lives up to its name, as it has a small self-service restaurant.

The route then follows «Höhenweg 1600» on a paved road to Holewang. After a few minutes' walk, wooden benches at a wonderful view point invite you to linger and enjoy the view. The route runs through sparse sections of forest with fairytale-like spots and across meadows towards Bort. After Milibach, another ascent awaits, but the nearby middle station of Firstbahn tempts you to take a break. The walk takes around 10 minutes. In addition to a restaurant and picnic facilities, the site offers a great playground for children of all ages.

Well rested, we return to Milibach. From there, the hiking route leads shortly uphill before the path branches off onto narrow meadow paths to Unterer Lauchbühl. The descent is just as steep as the ascent and continues on a well-surfaced road to the next forest section. The route on the forest path is an up and down. Once the Bärgelbach stream has been reached and crossed, the final descent to the destination of the hike and the bus stop of the same name awaits: Unterer Lauchbühl.

A small pub as a welcome resting place on the hiking trail. Culinary delights include a "Chäs-Brätel" (slice of bread with melted raclette cheese), regional dishes, dried meat and alpine cheese. The pub is known for its ten speciality coffees.

Your host Rolf Schneller is looking forward to welcoming you. Groups of up to 30 people are possible upon reservation.

Alternatively, GrindelwaldBus will take you directly to the bus stop of the same name in just over 30 minutes.
