Griesalp

Griesalp (1407 m/4,616ft) attracts summer visitors and skiers (interesting nature reserve). From here it is a three-hour climb to the Blümlisalp hut (2,837 m/9,308ft) to the south. The Interlaken road continues straight ahead through the upper part of Spiez, with parking places 1km/0.6mi and 1.5km/1mi from the town which afford beautiful views of the bay of Spiez and its picturesque castle. It then skirts a wooded promontory projecting into the lake and comes to Faulensee.
