Away from the mainstream. A varied hike over meadows and through forests to the unique waterfall "Sprutz".

Nature wants you back. The new claim of Switzerland Tourism fits perfectly with this hike. The trail leads across open meadows and past alpine huts into the Schilttal. A look back at the snow-covered Bernese Alps is always worthwhile. Caution is advised on the descent to the waterfall. The path is steep and often slippery. On hot days the water serves as a welcome cool-down.

After the obligatory selfispot at the waterfall, the trail winds through coniferous forests and open meadows back to Mürren.

Author’s recommendation

In summer and autumn the Älplers sell delicious mountain cheese.

Equipment

The solar radiation is increased in the mountains. Sunscreen with a high protection factor, a sun hat and sunglasses with UV protection should definitely be carried in your luggage.
Also in summer and when the "starting weather" is fine, warm clothing and a raincoat should be included. The layer principle with different layers of clothing is recommended.
