Burgfälle

This impressive ravine by Gsteig is still a relatively unknown location. From Hotel Bären in the village of Gsteig, the hike goes towards Kraftwerk and then on to Innergsteig. Left of the Kraftwerk the trail winds upwards along the Burgfälle. The 150 m climb reveals a unique interplay between the wonderful waterfalls and dizzying depths of the ravine.

  • Location: Innergsteig, a bit north of the Sanetschbahn valley station
  • Altitude: 1350 m
  • Directions: from Gstaad to Gsteig. Turn left at Hotel Bären and head towards Innergsteig / Kraftwerk Sanetsch. Park at the Kraftwerk or by the Sanetschbahn valley station
  • Recommendation: Hike onto the Wispile. Visit the Sanetsch reservoir

Please note: The hike to the "Burgfälle" is only for experienced hikers, as there are ladders to use. The path is steep and exposed in places.
