Switzerland Kandersteg

Kandersteg is a high-altitude resort village in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. Trails, like the challenging Allmenalp, and a cable car head east to Lake Oeschinen. Set at the foot of the Blüemlisalp massif, the lake is also a popular ski area, as is Sunnbüel to the southwest. In the forested Blausee Nature Park to the north, Blausee is a small, trout-filled lake fed by subterranean springs.

The spot has great light during the daytime right around 10 or 11 am in Summer, as the light seeps through the melting ice from the mountain peaks. Make use of your wide angle lens to frame the mountain peaks with a wonderful foreground subject.

If you are heading towards Oeschinensee, you will be taking this route through this charming town. The town is best reached through train unless you have a car.
