Without a doubt the most breathtaking hike I have ever done. Too the gondola up and then did the first to bachalpsee hike, which was quite the tiring trek! We were rewarded with the most beautiful views!! Spent a few hours at the lake having a picnic, taking pictures and just taking it all in. Switzerland is such a gorgeous place! This was the most memorable stop on my trip so definitely make sure you go here! You will be blown away.

Beautiful lake just a short walk from First cable car station. Easily doable in summer as well as in winter with amazing views of Grindelwald!
