--- title: "Laubbärgli - Bühlberg via Tierberg / Hiking in the homeland of Simmental cows" url: "https://www.brienzersee.ch/en/experiences/tour/laubbaergli-buehlberg-via-tierberg-/-hiking-in-the-homeland-of-simmental-cows" description: "The Simmental gave its name to the red-spotted cattle bred in the Bernese Oberland. The area has been inhabited for about 6,500 years. Since 2003, prehistoric clothing items made of bast and leather, bronze brooches, shoe nails, as well as arrows and a quiver have been found on the Schnidejoch. These objects are about 1,000 years older than the glacier mummy Ötzi. In 1878, Lenk was struck by a devastating village fire. At the starting point of the hike at the Laubbärgli mountain house, the intermediate destination Hahnenmoospass should be noted on the signpost. On a zigzag path, the route climbs through forest and then over an alpine pasture. A flat section before Obere Seewele offers an opportunity to rest. A view of the landscape of the Upper Simmental with alpine pastures, forests, and mountain peaks such as the Wildstrubel and the Plaine Morte glacier is worthwhile. Once again over an alpine pasture and scree sections, the Tierberg is climbed. The view into the Entschligetal valley makes the effort of the ascent worthwhile. Southwards you now descend via the Lavey ridge to the Hahnenmoospass. Here it is worth enjoying the panorama again with the peaks around the Entschligetal. Now turn right towards Bühlberg. The descent to the hiking destination at the Bühlberg bus stop takes place on a road. It does not pose any particular demands as it is signposted as a hiking path. This last section is part of Via Alpina 1 from Wanderland Switzerland. The long-distance hiking trail leads from the Principality of Liechtenstein across 14 Alpine passes to Lake Geneva." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://img.oastatic.com/img2/58660678/max/variant.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > www.brienzersee.ch > Experiences > Tour" --- GPX Share Laubbärgli - Bühlberg via Tierberg / Hiking in the homeland of Simmental cows ============================================================================= - 8.14 km long - Difficulty: medium - Condition: medium - Hiking Trail - 3:10 h - 8.14 km - 580 m - 780 m - 1,655 m - 2,370 m - 715 m - - Start: Laubbärgli - Destination: Bühlberg **On the internet, Lenk-Simmental Tourism promotes the area as an absolute hiking paradise. This high-altitude hike lets you experience the summit of Tierberg, alpine pastures, and the unspoiled nature. Fittingly for the latter: only at the end a very short section on hard surface.** The Simmental gave its name to the red-spotted cattle bred in the Bernese Oberland.
