Schwarzsee Gypsera - Ritzleni - Jaun - Charmey - La Balisa - Seeweid - Schwarzsee Gypsera.

Take the Euschels-Pass-trail in Schwarzsee and go up to 4,900 feet asl. Ritzli mountain restaurant offers you a magnificent view on the striking Gastlosen peaks.

A swift descent takes you on a tarmacked road to Jaun - a beautiful mountain village with a waterfall worth seeing.

The route heads on a gravel path towards Charmey (approximately 6 miles). Go up to Balisa mountain dairy, which is ideally suited for a snack. On a swift gravel path go back down to Schwarzsee.

A short detour before you arrive in Schwarzsee to glance at the waterfall is well worthwhile!
