Begin your adventure with a pick-up from your hotel in Basel, followed by a scenic drive through the Swiss countryside to the village of Erlenbach.
This self-guided hike offers a chance to explore the stunning Stockhorn region, with two hiking options:
(A) Start from Chrindi: Enjoy a gondola ride to Chrindi, then hike past crystal-clear mountain lakes en route to the Stockhorn summit.
(B) Start from Summit: Take the gondola to the summit and enjoy breathtaking views as you hike down, surrounded by the beauty of the Stockhorn lakes and Alps.
Upon reaching the gondola, choose your path and explore at your own pace with a trail map in hand. Connect with nature and discover the scenic wonders of the area, whether ascending or descending.
Prefer fishing? The Hinterstocken and Oberstocken lakes offer an exceptional alpine fishing experience. We can arrange for equipment rental and a guide for a 2-3 hour fishing tour.
