Hikes

Take the gondola lift from Emmetten or hike all the way up to Niederbauen and then choose one of the several breathtaking hikes: The Panorama way, is considered one of the 10 most beautiful panoramic hikes in Switzerland!! Rated a „Medium“ (I would call it a medium PLUS!) difficulty level. You must NOT be afraid of hights (you are sometimes hiking right next to a cliff😳), you must be in good condition and as always, make sure to wear proper hiking equipment!
