A wide footpath through meadows and pine forests leads to the lake in 20 minutes. Oeschinensee at the foot of Blüemlisalp (altitude 1,578 m) is one of the larger Alpine lakes.At Oeschinensee you and your children will find plenty to do. Why not take a rowing boat and explore the lake, dive into the cool water, try your luck at fishing, unpack your picnic at one of the barbeque sites or treat yourself to a gourmet meal on a restaurant’s panoramic terrace? There are unlimited possibilities!

For people with limited mobility, a shuttle bus runs from the mountain station to Lake Oeschinen. The e-shuttle runs daily from 11:30 to 16:30 / 17.30* every half hour or when full. No seats can be guaranteed.
