Oeschinensee is a pristine alpine lake located in the heart of the Swiss Alps. Surrounded by towering mountains and verdant forests, the lake is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and breathtaking scenery.

You can reach Oeschinensee via a gondola ride from Kandersteg, followed by a short hike to the lake. Once there, you can rent a boat to explore the lake, go for a refreshing swim, or simply relax on the shore and take in the stunning views.

There's one more thing if you're into thrilling experiences – their summer toboggan run with a length of over 2,500 feet and a height difference of approx. 500 feet, resulting in breakneck speeds. Alone or in pairs - it is simply great fun to whizz down the slope and let your hair flutter in the wind.
