The family hike starts from the Grimsel Hospiz with the Sidelhorn railway. This will take you to the foot of the Sidelhorn. Once you arrive at the mountain station, things really get going: we climb 300 metres up to Husenegg and then enjoy the rest of the family hike. The beautiful granite path offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain and granite landscape and of course the largest lake in the Grimsel region, the Grimselsee. The hike continues past the Triebteseewli and via Bäregg finally down to the cosy Oberaar mountain hut. After a refreshment stop, take the Oberaar railway back to the starting point.
