The hiking route From Metschstand to Sillerenbühl and Bergläger

From Metschstand to Sillerenbühl and Bergläger

A scenic hiking tour with various adventure highlights on the mountain ranges between Lenk and Adelboden. The cable car takes you comfortably up to the starting point of the hike on the Metschstand. The first part of the trail leads through Schattwy to the Brenggen reservoir. Its location amid green meadows and the reflection of the sunlight give it a Caribbean-like colour. For the first section, we recommend the alternative route from the Metschstand via Guetfläck, Bummerepass and Blattihütte. On this partial route, you can view the reservoir from above in the best light. Cross the border to Adelboden via the Hahnenmoos Pass with the mountain restaurant of the same name. The Flower Trail is laid out on a panoramic and easy path along the slopes of the Lavey. The plants are marked with signs and are easy to recognise. The large sun terrace on the Sillerenbühl invites you to linger and marvel at the surrounding mountain world. From here, it is also possible to take the cable car down to the valley. The last section invites you onto the Vogellisi adventure trail. Various playful stations round off this eventful day before you finally reach the end point at Bergläger.
