9 lake-trail

The picturesque Totensee lies directly at the Grimsel Pass. From there we hike in western direction to the Jostsee and past the Lengsee to the Rundsee. While the hiking trail now leads down to the valley, we turn right and continue hiking for a while in the floodplain on the plateau. Our path leads past the Üelisee, between Oberst Seewji and Mittelsee to the Trützisee. Then we descend on a path along the Geschinerbach to Geschinen, where our hike ends at the train station.

We recommend:

• Good footwear and walking sticks
• Sun and rain protection and warm clothing
• Detailed map or information material with good tour preparation
• Provisions for your day in the great outdoors
• Pocket pharmacy and mobile phone for emergencies

Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Adequate clothing and provisions (food and drink) are very important. If the weather is unstable, it is better to turn around early.

Carry additional sun protection with you. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, even when the sky is overcast.

Plan your tour carefully and in detail. Inform yourself in advance about the current conditions and weather conditions. The summer report provides you with valuable information from the region.
