Hike Kandersteg > Oeschinensee > Hohtürli Pass > Griesalp, Kiental; in Switzerland, Europe.

Above the beautiful lake of Oeschinensee, easily reached by lift from Kandersteg, is a challenging hike traversing steeply up over Hohtürli Pass then down to Griesalp in the remote valley of Kiental, Switzerland, Europe. Ascend 1120 meters and descend 1380 m in 13 km, which feels much longer due to steep, exposed rocky & gravelly slopes. Stairs and ladders assist your footing. Optionally stay overnight in Blüemlisalp hut at Hohtürli Pass. This image was stitched from multiple overlapping photos. For licensing options, please inquire.
