Pass hike Scheidegg

Hiking trail
Time required: 5 hours 5 minutesLength: 12.75 km

Naturpark Diemtigtal - The hike connects the Diemtigtal Nature Park with the municipality of Zweisimmen. At the Scheidegg, an unexpectedly wild mountain world awaits you at the foot of the Spillgerten.

At the far end of the Diemtigtal Nature Park, your pass hike starts with the ascent to Scheidegg, where the two municipalities of Diemtigen and Zweisimmen meet. Ibex and eagles feel especially comfortable in Alpetli: with some luck, you can observe the shy mountain inhabitants with binoculars in their natural environment. At Scheidegg, the highest point of your hike, you enjoy the stay in a wild, rugged mountain world and may even discover one or another marmot. From here begins the varied descent over alpine pastures, through forests and along mountain streams to Blankenburg.
