#1 day hike – Harder Ridge, Switzerland
One of our top 10 day hikes in the world.
Why?
24km total … about 18km on a sharp ridge! Wow!
- Yes, this is our pick for the very best day hike on Earth
- Brienz to Interlaken Brienz Rothorn Railway up to the start
- take the funicular from Harderkulm (Harder Kulm) down to Harderkulm Station in Interlaken
- logistics are much more difficult in the opposite direction. We highly recommend hikers start in Brienz
- 10+ hours. Physically and psychologically challenging.
- no water available. Carry all you need.
- not an official trail, but it’s easy to follow in good visibility
- about 1500m above the lake
- permits not required
- it’s popular with trail runners who do about 35km entirely on foot. They start at either end.
- also known as Hardergrat (… grat is ridge in German)
World → Europe → Alps → Switzerland → Harder Ridge
