On the hike to Bortelsee, you cover almost 1,000 meters of elevation. While the mountain peaks dominate the ascent, you enjoy a wonderful view over the Ganter valley during the descent.

You hike from the "Berisal" bus stop slightly ascending towards the east. After crossing the stream, the path steadily rises to the Bortelhütte. Once at the hut, it is worth taking the ascent to the lake. On the descent, it is recommended to enjoy the view on the terrace of the Bortelhütte during a short break.
