Create an itinerary including Faulhorn

Hike to the rounded peak of Faulhorn and admire the rugged scenery of the snowcapped Bernese Alps. Several trails wind their way to the 2,681 m (8,796 ft) summit. At the top, take in sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Thurne below. Stop in the well-known hotel at the summit, where you can reward yourself with a fortifying meal. The ascent requires a decent level of fitness, but the well-preserved trail won't present any great challenge to experienced hikers. Before you head to Grindelwald, plan trip itinerary details with our user-friendly Grindelwald trip builder, to make sure you see all that Grindelwald has to offer, including Faulhorn.

We stopped here for lunch while on our hike from Schynige Platte to First. It was super packed on a summer weekday and we had to wait a little to get a table. The view is awesome. The food is pretty standard for mountain huts. We were served very promptly. Would have been a much better experience if it wasn’t so crowded and noisy.

The view was spectacular! The journey will be challenging on your way up but it’s worth it.
