- JVJared· August 15th, 2024Highly recommend. The hikes were hard, so make sure you are in shape. The altitude is a factor if you live near sea level. The hotel was quaint, but the restaurant there is near Michelin-star-quality food. Did not expect that!! The instructions and guides are super helpful, as is the app. Kandersteg is so amazing. Wish i could retire there. No negatives that i can even think of. Doing it again next yearShow more
