Seeking Advice: Off-the-Beaten-Path Day Hikes in the Swiss Alps

Hi everyone,

My husband and I are finally taking our long-awaited trip to Switzerland this summer. We're both experienced hikers and are incredibly excited to spend most of our time in the Alps. While we of course plan to see famous spots like the Jungfrau region, we're really hoping to find one or two fantastic day hikes that feel a bit more away from the main tourist crowds.

We'll be based out of Interlaken for a good portion of the trip and are comfortable with trains, gondolas, and hikes that are moderately challenging.

We've been reading a lot of great suggestions here on the forum, and one thread in particular was a wonderful starting point for understanding the transportation passes and some classic routes: https://gbwhatsap.id

But now we'd love to hear from you: do you have a personal favorite "hidden gem" hike in that general area? A trail with breathtaking views where we might find a bit more solitude? Maybe a specific valley or a lesser-known mountain restaurant that's worth the trek?

We're so grateful for any local secrets or personal experiences you're willing to share. Thanks in advance for helping us make our trip even more memorable

If you’re based in Interlaken and want something a little quieter, I’d really recommend the Sulwald → Lobhornhütte hike above Isenfluh. The tiny cable car up to Sulwald already feels like a step off the tourist track, and once you’re on the trail you get those big Eiger–Mönch–Jungfrau views with far fewer people around. The Lobhornhütte is small, friendly, and a great spot for a simple lunch.

Another lovely option is Schynige Platte → Oberberghorn loop. Most visitors stick to the panorama path, but the short detour to Oberberghorn gives you a 360° view and usually a lot more quiet.

Both are moderate, beautiful, and feel just a bit more “secret” compared to the big-name routes. Enjoy your trip — summer in the Alps is magic!
