The broad panoramic path leads through a pleasantly shady mountain forest and offers a comprehensive all-round view of Lakes Brienz and Thun, the Bödeli between the two lakes, and the majestic Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks.

From the Harder Kulm restaurant, the path starts out as a stony but quite wide and leisurely mountain trail. Then you might even break out in a sweat briefly as you tackle the sizeable climb to the Hardergrat. A comfortable descent on a narrow path through the idyllic Wanniwald then awaits you on your way back to Harder Kulm. The hike offers a comfortably simple route profile. We recommend good hiking boots with good soles to enjoy this unique mountain trail safely.
