Sunny weather on Saturday, too hard to turn down the opportunity to see probably the most beautiful lake in Switzerland. The snow has already melted at 2000m, let's go to the amazing Berner Oberland. 

The extraordinary views of the lake, the opportunity to try to ride the Rodelbahn (rollercoaster) in the nature are the big reasons for an unforgettable 1-day hike. 

This is only for people who have already done  around 1000m+ height difference hikes before.
