Arnen Dam (1) | | |
There is nothing impressive about the Arnen dam, a simple embankment dam built in 1942. It is the lake it holds that makes all the charm of this place which invites you to go hiking. |
Arnen Dam (2) | | |
The dam holds the small Arnon lake (Arnensee), at 1542 m altitude, in a preserved nature. 1.5 km long, you can go all around it, partly in the forest and partly on the shore. The road to the lake starts in Feutersoey, above Gstaad. |
Road to Feutersoey | | |
The narrow access road starts from Feutersoey, above Gstaad, and leads here. It is private and subject to a charge (CHF5.00 including parking) and is open from May to October. There are also parking spaces on the other side of the dam. |
Start of east shore trail | | |
The road leading to Lake Arnen stops in the vicinity of the restaurant. Behind us, it goes up to the small campsite, lined with a number of parking spaces. In front of us starts the path that goes around the lake, first through the forest on the eastern shore. |
