The easy hike leads mostly downhill through the picturesque mountains of the Bernese Oberland. A moderately steep ascent leads you through lush mountain meadows - the red carpet of blossoming Alpine roses stands in stark contrast to the green meadows of the valley and the glistening ice of the glaciers behind. The trail finally continues further through the shaded woods and across vividly blossoming flower meadows to the Mühlebach waterfalls and in the direction of Nodhalten to Bort.
