Here’s why:

1 | 😍 I mean, just look at this GORGEOUS alpine lake! Its bright blue water is surrounded by impressive gray mountains and green alps.

This video has made me emotional 🥰
We have just returned from 8 days in the Jungfrau region, and our favourite spot was at Oeschinensee lake. I actually proposed to my girlfriend from the top above the lake so this place will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Thanks for all of your amazing Switzerland videos. Our itinerary was all based around your perfect recommendations.

I was born and raised in Kandersteg and the Oeschinensee is the most beautiful lake I've ever ssen. Your video is really well done and very informativ, keep it going. Thanks so much 💗💓

[ricky]

Thank you for this video. We never would have know this place existed. My new favorite place on the planet. We went mid December and the ground was covered in snow. The lake and mountains are beautiful.

[RxPhotowalks]

Great video and I would totally recommend the Berner Oberland pass. Used it to take multiple gondola rides during my stay which would otherwise cost a bomb.

[andrelalonde]

Another great video, with full of advice to make our trip to Switzerland a breeze. Thanks again… ! We met at the train station on that day. I was so happy to see you and be able to thank you in person. All your videos helped me to plan our trip and have a WONDERFUL time! Thank you so much ! The Berner Oberland pass is really a money saver. As for the hike, we did the same, with the dive in the lake too! So refreshing. Hope to see you on our next trip to Switzerland😀

Woww can't w8 to see full video. This was one of our best place and favourite one. We saw you previous video about this lake and we added to our trip and we loved it. Thank you guys for bringing back again this beautiful lake. I miss so much Switzerland. When i am sad and i cry i just watch your videos and feel so nice after watching beautiful Switzerland. I wish i was living there.

I went to Grindelwald & Wengen in June 2023 (it was my first time to Switzerland), and I read about Oeschinensee, but didn't exactly know if would be a big hike. But I def going to visit it next summer! This year I also used your videos to travel to Grindelwald and understand the train system, it was so helpful! You two made traveling to Switzerland so much easier for us, keep up the good work!

[karenkingrey]

I love these Switzerland videos! The scenery is amazing!

[avril]

the berner oberland pass is so worth it !! highly recommend

[ervinslens]

Stunningly gorgeous presentation, this whole place is just unreal! Breathtaking landscapes and simply professional storytelling guys!

[counterfit]

That kid in the boat at 9:38 was excited about something 😆

[amandaf]

Thank you!!! We did the clear lake last second because of this video. It was being gorgeous!!!

[the_Mindreader]

Thank you for this video. Doing this hike tomorrow! Very helpful!

[mariojsworld]

Great vlog from one of my favorite Swiss lakes.

[leejimmy]

I came to the Heuberg viewpoint in October, in the evening. I hiked all the way up from Kandersteg. Extremely demanding hike. But the view of the lake, including the sunset, is truly worth it. I saw ibexs too!

[suzianabusri]

Thanks for the video. It’s very informative ❤

[amaiafdez]

this video was very cool and helpful!! thank you so much

[Marco-iexn]

your pronunciation of the swiss villages and citys is very good !

[MrGreatplum]

I’m a real fan of Kandersteg. When I worked at Kuoni travel, I went to kandersteg with colleagues one March on what was called an “educational” where you look around the hotels we sell. We were given some ski passes for skiing around Oschinensee. 3 of us were useless at it so spent the afternoon tobogganing back to the village (down what I now know is the access road!)

I was able to come back in the summer staying at the hotel Blumisalp with my wife because they gave me a week’s free half board!

The Oschinensee is a magical place - we loved it (and the mountain coaster - although the pfinstegg one has better views!) - it’s a great day trip from Interlaken etc.
