An impressive panoramic view of the mountains from Kandersteg.
A number of superb mountain walking routes lead across the Höh.

Panoramic route: Circular tour via Bütschels (edge of woodland), Höhwald to the weir or in reverse.

Moraine route: Turn off at the pedestrian underpass north of the railway station, then climb up the moraine trail as far as the viewing point at Höh.

Duration:
Panoramic route: 2 hours
Moraine route: 45 minutes

Caution!
This area is prone to landslides with massive rocks
which are overgrown with moss; some deep holes in between.
Dangerous for children and dogs.
