Oeschinen Lake, nestled in the Bernese Alps near Kandersteg, is a stunning turquoise gem surrounded by majestic mountains. Accessible by cable car or a scenic hike, this alpine paradise offers activities like hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, and even tobogganing in the summer. In winter, the frozen lake becomes a playground for sledding, skiing, ice skating, and ice fishing. With two hotels right on its shores, Oeschinen Lake is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the beauty of Switzerland's outdoors.

You can easily hike the lakeside trail which is flat and only around 3 miles.

If you’d like the view from above the lake, it is a more steep and strenuous hike that is around 5 miles. It is listed as the Panorama trail.
