Activity overview

The ultimate hike combination! Hike up Bunderspitz (2’546 m) the first day and stay overnight in our Ueschinen Hut. On the next day, hike up the Ueschinen valley (2'735 m), take in views of Adelboden, and descend to the Gemmi pass.

This experience will certainly show you the best about the Swiss Alps. Mountains, valleys, huts, ridges, all guided by a Pinkie. As well as leading you along the path, your Pinkie guide will teach you a lot of things about the area and its nature.
