Bachalpsee is one of the most photographed lakes in Switzerland, famous for its stunning reflections of the surrounding peaks on calm days.

The adventure begins with a gondola ride to First, followed by an easy and scenic hike through alpine meadows. Once you reach the lake, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking mountain scenery and one of the most iconic views in the Bernese Oberland.

💡 Sandra’s Tip

Visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon for the best reflections and fewer crowds. On a calm day, the mirror effect on the lake is simply unforgettable.
