Things to Do  

Swiss Art

Swiss Art, Blausee

 Rhondaj Says:  No matter how far from civilization we thought we were, we always managed to come across some art! Most of it made from nature. Carvings from wood, rock formations, twigs bent into a fashion, etc. So here we were walking over a cute little bridge above the lake, I look down,... 

Nice, wooded paths

Nice, wooded paths, Blausee

 Rhondaj Says:  There were lots of paths around and leading off of the lake. We noticed that the paths (and lake too) had lots and lots of lighting. It must be really cool to be here at night when the wooded paths and the lake are all lit up.If I ever come back (hope to!), I would consider... 

A Childrens Playground (ahem...)

A Childrens Playground (ahem...), Blausee

 Rhondaj Says:  You can walk around the whole lake--it's really quite small. (Think pond more than lake.)At the half-way point is this great set-up. There are picnic tables, grills for a cookout, but the best part is the playground! They had rides I'd never seen before. In this picture my... 

Bluest of them all

Bluest of them all, Blausee

Bus to/from Kandersteg, Blausee

 Rhondaj Says:  If you only want to hike to or from Blausee in one direction, no problem. Right outside the entrance is a bus stop. (free riding with your Swiss Pass). The bus comes hourly. The schedule is posted at the stop. Take a peek at it before going into Blausee so you know the times... 

Nice Hike from Kandersteg

Nice Hike from Kandersteg, Blausee

 Rhondaj Says:  It is a 1 hour 20 minute walk to Blausee from Kandersteg. Very level grade or sometimes gentle slopes down. I would suggest for an easy walk go Kantersteg to Blausee. For more of a workout go Blausee to Kandersteg. The walk often follows the river and sometimes veers off to... 

Shopping  

Blausee Shop: Local crafts

Blausee Shop: Local crafts, Blausee

 Rhondaj Says:  Small little shop with local wines and unique crafts. Way too late into our vacation I found a nice little guide for identifying Alpine flowers. Zauberhafte Alpenblumenby Alfred Pohlerweb address:www.lohmann.atIt would have been smarter of me to have bought this guide... 

Tourist Traps  

A Fee to See

A Fee to See, Blausee

 Rhondaj Says:  What a shame one must pay to see and enjoy the lake. Maybe there is a back way to sneak in??

 If you are staying in Kandersteg, you really should do this hike! It is only about an hour and 10 minute walk. The grade is even or at times, sloping downhill. It's very wide and popular with cyclists...
