September 16, 2023,🇨🇭 Kandersteg - Gemmipass - Leukerbad

We took the Sunnbül gondola up in Kandersteg and followed the path to Leukerbad. We passed the Daubensee. At the Gemmi Pass we took the gondola down to Leukerbad.
The path is very easy to follow. Overall, a very scenic and leisurely hike.

Both options meet again at …

I had pretty dirty shoes from hiking in Baselland 🥾

So a hike in the snow was needed ❄️

I decided on the tour from the Gemmi Pass to Sunnbüel.

Well marked and prepared and with a cozy stop in the middle of the hike. 🍰 ☕️
