2-day hike Fluhsee near Lenk



Ever dreamt of spending the night in a cozy hut next to a remote (but freezing cold) wee mountain lake? Then Fluhsee is the hike you should be up to soon. From Lenk (last village of Simmental), walk to Simmenfälle and then up to Siebenbrünnen, where you can stop at the friendly little farmhouse-style restaurant for a lovely soup before hitting the wild. Oh yes, and don't forget to put down your names on the slate board in front. That's the only way of making a "reservation" for Fluhseehütte - well, if this can be called "reservation" at all. From Siebenbrünnen, it's a pretty steep hike up to Fluhsee, where you'll be awarded with a splendid view of Simmental. Around the hut, there's plenty of wood to make a fire and cook the food you carried along. And then just enjoy the silence and the sound of the nearby waterfall!




On the second day, you can hike to Tierbergsattel and then to Iffigenalp (approx. 5-6 hrs), from where you can either return to Lenk by bus or walk back. Another option is to continue to Wildstrubelhütte if you fancy once standing on top of Wildstrubel :-)

Wow. This look very, very fun. I love mountain climbing but haven't really got the chance to do so. Because I am currently studying. And hopefully could do some hiking soon! ;-)
