Day 1: Hike to Augstmatthorn 2136m

Our meeting point is at the Interlaken Ost train station. Together we ride up with the cog railway to the Harder Kulm (1305m). From here you start walking through the beautiful ‘mountain-forest’. Soon the view opens onto the Brienzersee. After a short rest we continue on the Hardergrat.  With the view of Habkern to our left and the Brienzersee on our right, the path now rises steeper and steeper uphill. Soon we reach the first summit, the Suggiture (2084m). It is now that only a short stroll separates us from our main goal. Over the fine ridge we are climbing the Augstmatthorn 2136m. After a relaxing summit break we start our descent to Habkern. From there we take the bus back to Interlaken.
