Hiking
This 16-kilometer mountain hike takes you across magnificent alpine meadows to one of the most beautiful viewpoints over Lake Brienz and to the largest ibex colony in the Bernese Oberland. You can also look forward to an exciting stretch of path over a narrow ridge. The circular hike starts at the Post in Habkern.
Right from the start, the path climbs crisply. You continue to hike up and after five kilometers you will pass the Jägerstübli and the Lombachalp. Time for a break on the sun terrace. With fresh energy you tackle the next part of the climb.
The path zigzags up to the ridge height and then runs as a clearly visible path to the Augstmatthorn lookout point. The view from up here is one of the most spectacular in the region. The lake lies deep below you, behind it are the giants of the Bernese Alps. Just beautiful!
You hike further over the ridge and enjoy great views down to Bödeli, the alluvial plain between Lake Brienzer and Lake Thun. Then it's very steep down to the hut in Horet Läger. The last part of the tour you hike back to Habkern over magnificent meadows.
You can get to Habkern from Interlaken in a relaxed manner by Postbus. If you want to shorten the hike a bit, you can also book the "Bus Alpin" call bus from Habkern to Lombachalp or vice versa. You can find all the information here: https://busalpin.ch/regionen/habkern-lombachalp/sommer.
