The Lobhorn Trail is a challenging panoramic circuit high above the Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Jungfrau Region. It typically starts at Grütschalp (mountain station) and returns there as a circular route. At around 22 km and approximately 1’436 metres of elevation gain, the route is demanding – but rewards you with magnificent views of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
Along the way, the trail passes through the peaceful Soustal, follows high-altitude paths and leads past the Lobhorn Hut – a perfect place for a break on the terrace with mountain views. If you choose a variant starting from Sulwald, you can conveniently reach the starting point by taking the small cable car from Isenfluh.
The best time is generally from summer to autumn (July–October); wet conditions or snow make the trail considerably more challenging. In winter, the area is also known for snowshoe tours – the Lobhorn Trail is considered the “more strenuous” alternative to the Sulwald Trail.
An excursion that is especially worthwhile if you want to experience nature, open spaces and the famous trio of Bernese Alps peaks on a single trail.
