Oeschinensee🇨🇭

What's Included

We've designed a relaxed alpine weekend with the essentials covered. Sleep in a Belle Epoque village hotel, row across one of Switzerland's most photographed lakes, and discover the bright-blue Blausee on Sunday with the entrance, glass-bottomed boat and lunch all included. Your TravelTribe coordinator handles the day-to-day so you can focus on the views and the group.

Train, Cable Car & On-Mountain Meals

Train, Cable Car & On-Mountain Meals
The package does not include the train Zurich to Kandersteg or the Oeschinen gondola, so you can book your own with your Half-Fare Card and benefit from the ~50% Halbtax discount. Tip: buy your train and gondola together as an SBB RailAway combo on the SBB app for around 10% off.

Saturday lunch at Berghotel Oeschinensee (self-service on the terrace) and Saturday dinner at Alpenblick Kandersteg are also at your own expense, giving you the freedom to order what you fancy. The optional alpine coaster down to the valley is also pay-on-the-day if you want it. You can find an estimate of the extra daily costs below.
