Tannensee

Highlight • Lake

The Tannensee is a true gem. Depending on the weather, you get a wild highland feeling or a liberating bathing feeling in a Swiss mountain lake. A little less touristy than the Melchsee.

Lungerersee

Highlight • Lake

Gliding comfortably on the lake by pedal boat or more dynamically with speed over the lake and cutting the waves: the water sports leave nothing to be desired.

Very nice tour with some single trails, not extreme but not necessarily for Sunday bikers. By choosing a slightly different route, you can mainly drive on an alp or mountain road with the same wonderful panoramic view. The section from Tannalp to Engstlen remains a single trail of about one to two kilometers.

Great tour, some trail sections
shortened the route from Stöckalp to Melchsee-Frutt by taking the train (830 m elevation gain).

My favorite tour is to Frutt and then back over the Brönig Pass to Lake Sarnen. We made the tour easy today and sweetened the ascent to Frutt with the cable car. The view of the many colorful lakes is always a wonderful experience.
