Beautiful loop trail of easy to moderate difficulty (moderate if there’s been rain or snow as sections can be slippery, trekking poles recommended). Stop at one of the farms in the way for self serve snacks. Bring cash. I have difficulty with inclines so started at the Almendhubel and worked my way down back to Mürren. Inclines were less intense and doable that way. Took this trail on an overcast, slightly snowy day and it was still beautiful. Looking forward to doing it again on a clearer day.

We passed this route at the beginning of May 2025, there was snow in places and it was difficult to descend back to the city. The route is more likely for warm and dry weather, there are quite dangerous places The climb is about 300m, the whole route is about 7km

I walked this trail the day after a snowfall. While I didn’t see the usual greenery, the view was still beautiful. I really enjoyed the walk and stopped by some cow farms, where I saw cheese and milk being made. I also met some paratroopers who were taking off from the mountaintop to Grimwald.
