- All you need to know if you want to attempt the sketchy and tough Brienzergrat/Hardergrat from Interlaken to Brienz, in Switzerland. Or the other way around of course! My favourite hike of Switzerland!
After my first attempt in 2020 and my successful return in 2021 I completed the full Hardergrat. Quite an unique hike which is a physical challenge, a mental challenge and sketchy at the same time. But rewarding with the most beautiful views!

Scary, tough and beautiful.. 😆Thanks for the detailled guiding tips! Always a pleasure watching your videos.
Thanks man!!
thank you!
This looks spectacular my friend, what a breathtaking and unique looking trail. Just breathtaking 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching and the kind words! Hope it might help you!
Do you have any idea what the weather and scenery will be like at the end of March?
Not sure, really depends on the recent weather. Most of the times march is quite a bit too soon for hiking I'm afraid!
And if it's sunny bring a cap or hat. Protect your head 😉
I am going to interlaken this June. Hike looks beautiful but Is the hike dangerous?
Yes it is a risky hike!
Great vid. Which part would you recommend to do if I'm just doing a part of the trail. (im staying in an Interlaken hostel)
Interlaken till a little bit further than Augustmatthorn is amazing! Go a bit further because there are way less people :)
@@WanderwithXander thanks man! About how long would that be round trip. Assuming I go there and back. Or am I better off going down the side to a different town?
I think both of the options are fine, you might be best of looking and planning on AllTrails. I noted my times in the full 2021 Hardergrat vid, but pace is very personal ofcourse
From Harderkulm to Augstmatthorn is about 3h30m ("official speed"), and back prob 3h, so in total 6h30m.
I went to Interlaken last year, I could hike only to wanichnubel ans I caould not continue. I was hard. I have a problem in my knee and i was about 100 kilos last year
Impressive! Well done!
Thanks for the video! I'm planning a trip to Switzerland over the summer with my family and I know for sure that all of us wouldn't be able to complete the whole trail. I was thinking about taking the Brienz Rothorn train to the top, hiking along the ridge to Tannhorn then turning around and taking the train back down. Is that part of the ridge very narrow or technical? I have a slight fear of heights but I try not to let it stop me
Thats exactly the hike I did back in 2020, you can check out my video (its the most popular one on my channel, so you can find it easy). I found the climb of the Tannhorn from the Brienzer side the most narrow and technical part. So you might want to reconsider this :) but you might get a better idea of it when you see the vid.
@@WanderwithXander Thanks yeah after watching your other video I don't think I'll be able to make it that far lol. I might go with the easier ridge trail to Turren instead
Sounds like a very good idea! I have a "top Five hikes" of Switzerland on my channel as well. If you're interested!
David,
you may consider either:
a) the ridge hike from Turren to Brienzer Rothorn. (It has as breathtaking views as the Hardergrat, but is much easier, T2.). It's 9.16km (5.7 mi), 1032m up/320 down. Park at Wichelstr. 2 in 6078 Lungern and take cable car up tp Turren.
At Brienzer Rothorn, you can either take the train down (62 CHF), or hike back to Turren.
b) a short part of the Hardergrat (T2, a but T3): take Harderbahn from Interlaken to Harderkulm (26 CHF), then hike to Suggiture / Augstmatthorn, hike down to Lombachalpe and take bus back down.
c) go by car to Lombachalpe, hike up to Suggiture, Augstmatthorn, if needed go to Wytlouwihoren (T4), etc, then back and down to Lombachalpe.
Hi, have you done haute route yet? Trying to find some info on going light.
Hi! No not yet, but I made a gear video about going light for the TMB. Maybe that helps?
Hehe saw your other video's but not this one yet. I will take 4.5 liter water, and burst drink some extra just before the rise. Then since harder kulm is biggest climb, making me sweat i will try to drink a liter there as well to also remove weight, then two bottles required for rest.
Are super light schoes not slippery on the rock parts like Tannhorn? I didnt buy heavy boots (like some Meindles, but i like boots that don't bend like sportschoes on a step on a rock, so i bought 600 gram, Jack wolfskin force striker Texapore. Hearing you this would still be to heavy :D But then i just like heavy schoes that don't push on your feet, they make me feel stable and not slippery (90km might also be reasy xd).
I will take camera no matter what, but every single lens, except two will be left at home including all other useless stuff. Friend of mine is scared the september (or just at +2000 meter) it might be cold, but if i hear you it's actually warm?
Thanks for watching! You should wear the shoes you like of course, sounds like a nice way to meet in the middle haha. Nice of the camera, curious for the photos!! Sounds like a good water preperation to me. During the days of September it will probably not be too cold, but it really depends on the local weather forecast. Should not be a problem :)
When I hike in September most of the days its nice and warm, but of course it can also get cold and rainy (not advisible)
