We are all familiar with alpine roses, arnica and gentian, but the meadows along the Original Alpine Flower Trail are populated by many other species. Around 90 signs have been put up to help you recognize the well-known and lesser-known alpine flowers. Experience the natural diversity of species on the Leiterli.

Surrounded by a unique panorama between Wildstrubel and Hasler Hochmoor. The circular hike starts directly at the Leiterli mountain station. A short, steep climb at the beginning of the mountain trail takes you up to the Leiterli. Here you can sit and admire the variety of alpine flowers. The circular trail curves over the ridge and then leads back to the starting point via the wide Steinstoss-Leiterli hiking trail.

The wide hiking trail from the mountain station to the junction with the Original Alpine Flower Trail is also signposted. It is particularly suitable for leisurely walkers and people with baby carriages.

Immerse yourself in the diversity here

  • Approach

    By car via Zweisimmen to Lenk. At the traffic circle in the center of the village, drive towards the valley station of the Betelberg gondola lift.

  • Take the train via Zweisimmen to Lenk. On foot or by local bus to the valley station of the Betelberg cable car. Take the Betelberg cable car from Lenk to the Leiterli mountain station. The mountain station is the start and end point of the circular trail.

  • Plenty of free parking spaces at the valley station of the gondola lift.

  • You can't miss the start of the Alpine Flower Trail at the mountain station. Follow the flower signs.

  • This is a diversity of species that unfortunately no longer occurs very often. Many of the plants on the Leiterli are protected. Watching instead of plucking - the plants like to be observed closely.

  • Good shoes & a magnifying glass for the small and fine details. For your cell phone: the digital flower guide Flower Walks

  • Alpine flower guide

    The Alpine Flower Guide is your companion on your foray through the alpine flora. You can obtain the brochure for CHF 2.00 at the Betelberg cable car or at the Tourist Center Lenk. Follow the numbered signs and find further information on each plant.
