Why Oeschinen Lake?

UNESCO World Heritage Site

Lake Öschinen was formed by several landslides on the flanks of the Fründenhorn and the Doldenhorn. The masses of debris that broke off on the Doldenhorn at an altitude of 2100 meters formed a natural dam with a volume of well over one hundred million cubic meters. The rock material is still permeable to water today, which is why the Oeschinensee is drained underground. Since 2007, Oeschinensee has been part of the extended Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Oeschinen Lake Viewpoint

One of most mesmerising and stunning places to see in Switzerland. Öschinensee is incredible. If you can catch it on a good day with sun and clear skies, you will get the views that you see online.

Bergweg zur Fründenhütte

The section of the path south of Lake Oeschinen is closed due to the risk of landslides; Access to the hut is therefore via the Fründenzeile (longer and somewhat more difficult).

Berghotel Oeschinensee

Just one of the best experiences ever! Yes, the rooms are small and the toilet and showers are shared, but who cares! This is for folks who love mountains and nature. The room is for napping!
