This route from the Berghotel Schwarenbach offers an easy route through a wide valley. The walk offers some excellent mountain views on easy to follow paths.

Start the Berghotel Schwarenbach. No mechanical means of reaching here from the valley. Walk 8042 provides a very pleasant approach.

End the upper station of the Luftseilbahn Kandersteg-Sunnbüel. See Transport Map for the Kandertal Region.

This is a straightforward walk which crosses the border from Valais/Wallis into the Canton of Bern. Leave the Berghotel Schwarenbach and walk north on the path signed to Sunnbüel. Initially the route passes through a barren landscape but this soon changes as you begin to descend into a wide valley.

After Spittelmatte the views to the left of the Üschenegrat ridge improve. Reaching a junction of paths/tracks continue straight ahead climbing gently to the upper station of the cable car at Sunnbüel.
