Full description

Begin a captivating adventure with a scenic drive from your accommodation in Geneva to the picturesque village of Erlenbach, accompanied by our friendly driver-guide.

Your hiking journey starts here, offering you the chance to delve into the stunning natural wonders of the Stockhorn region. Enjoy the flexibility of choosing between two routes based on your preferences and fitness level:

Option A: Chrindi to Summit: Kick off with a gondola ride to Chrindi, then hike past serene mountain lakes as you climb to the Stockhorn summit.

Option B: Summit to Base: Take the gondola directly to the summit and savor the awe-inspiring vistas on your descent, with the grandeur of the Stockhorn lakes and the Swiss Alps as your backdrop.

With the trail map in hand, embark on a self-guided adventure tailored to your pace. This journey allows you to immerse yourself in nature, relishing the freedom to explore independently. Both paths promise magnificent views of the Stockhorn and its two crystal-clear lakes amid the majestic Swiss Alps.

If fishing entices you more than hiking, head to Hinterstocken and Oberstocken lakes for an alpine fishing experience. We can arrange for equipment rental and a knowledgeable guide to accompany you on a 2-3 hour fishing tour.

After your hike, your driver-guide will greet you at the Erlenbach Valley Station and transport you to a delightful lakeside spot on the shores of Lake Brienz. Here, enjoy a delicious picnic featuring Swiss delicacies, prepared just for you. Relax, savor the flavors, and dip your toes in the pristine lake waters as the sun casts its final golden glow of the day.

This Stockhorn Hiking Adventure with a Lakeside Picnic offers an exhilarating yet serene escape, empowering you to craft your own journey amidst Switzerland’s natural splendor. Revel in the beauty of the Swiss wilderness and create memories that last a lifetime. At the end of your trip, enjoy a comfortable return transfer to Geneva.
