Stage Description
From the spiritual center of Flüeli-Ranft, this high mountain stage crosses the Brünigpass. It is an demanding journey with a significant drop-off, offering spectacular panoramic views of the Bernese Alps. The path traverses a beautiful alpine landscape. After topping the pass, a long and beautiful descent leads the pilgrim to the shores of Lake Brienz, famous for its turquoise waters. This is a classic Alpine stage, tough but very rewarding.
