"Located near the charming village of Grindelwald in the Bernese Oberland region, Bachalpsee captivates visitors with its serene beauty and pristine alpine surroundings. A scenic hike through lush meadows and fragrant forests leads to this idyllic mountain lake, where emerald waters mirror the towering peaks that frame the horizon.
rom Grindelwald, take the cable car to First. The cable car ride itself offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Once at First, follow the well-marked hiking trail to Bachalpsee. The hike takes about 1.5 to 2 hours and is suitable for hikers of all levels.
On the way back you can opt to ride a 'trotti bike' down the hill instead of cable car for even more fun experience."

"The trail begins near the gondola drop-off on First Mountain. It's a relatively short hike, taking about 90 minutes round trip (plus time spent at the lake), making it a great addition to your First Mountain visit.
I suggest grabbing pre-made sandwiches from the Coop in Grindelwald town before heading up the mountain, so you can enjoy a nice lunch break here."

"This is a lake one can hike upto. Easier route for hiking would be from First.
One can take the cable car from Grindelwald to First and then take a 45 mins hike to the lake.
The lake is completely covered in snow during the winters "
