Towards the end of the Gasterntal valley there is the Klus Gorge and bridge across it. The water is quite torrential here - we heard a story that a dog fell in here, I hate to think what happened :-( At the side the road, which we followed for a short while, passes through a short tunnel and then the path drops drop the side of the overhanging cliff here - aided by steps thankfully! The entrance to the valley emerges near the cable-car station for Sunnbuel from where it is a flat walk of some 40 minutes to the centre of Kandersteg.

High above the cliffs of the Gasterntal valley we could see the glaciers (on the other side this would be in the Gemmipass) with the meltwater causing the waterfalls. You wouldn't think from the blue sky here that there was abank of cloud nestled over kandersteg!

The walk started off on a well defined gravel track and soon descended into some woods, zig-zagging down for a short while but soon opened out to the river bed and the valley walls with the many waterfalls were visible - some literally spouting out of the rock.

For a shortish hike we decided to take the minibus (see transport tip) up this secret valley to Selden and then walk back to the town of Kandersteg. Its only a 2-3 hour hike but we took it leisurely and stopped off for a coffee halfway down. let me show you some of the scenery....

A 40 minute walk north of the village brings you near to a cable-car station - just near here an amazing road climbed into the wild Gasternal valley. Its literally a hidden valley, you hardly know it was here unless you'd see it on a map or had this view as we descended on the Sunnbuel cable car after walking the Gemmi Pass.

The Kleine Scheidegg 6762 feet is where the water divides both of the LOtschine valleys and is the starting point of countless hikes in every direction,Kleine Scheidegg is the point of departure of the Jungfrau railway.

This well kept, flower adorned cemetery we did not come across until our last evening walk. We uncovered a lot of sights by taking these evening strolls. I wonder what sights I never saw?

The Gasterntal is a good plce to spot the alpine flowers. I don't know the name of this one but its really colourful and stood out amongst the green meadows.

Of course, Kandersteg is built around the tourist trade. But there are a few less-traveled paths that can make you feel like you have the Alps all to yourself.

Kandersteg is a nice little village surrounded by an awesome mountain area. It's famous for ice climbing, cross country skiing in winter and is a good hiking base in summer.
