Oberaarsee | Informal Campsite

August 8th, 2020 by Simon's

Place is in shutdown for camping, meaning, that you can no longer stay over night (tent or car/rv). As this is a nature reserve zone and due to massive overcamping with people letting their graywater flow off and leaving rubbish, the community and the owner of the Lot (KWO) decided to mount a panel, that says, that you are no longer allowed to camp there. Also, from august 2020 on, people will inform you, and police will intervene.

Wonderful spot at the reservoir Oberaarsee beside the dam wall. Beautiful views to lake and glacier. Dead end road. Absolutely quiet. We are here for the 3rd time and only today (during summer vacation) we are accompanied by more than 2 other campers.
No mobile reception.
Take a 1.5 hour easy walk to the glacier. If you are more ambitious, go to the Sidelhorn, where you have spectacular panoramic views.
ACCESS: direction Grimselpass -> lake 6:00-22:00, every hour from 00 (full hour)-10 minutes past,
Direction lake -> Grimselpass 6:30-22:30, every hour from 30 (half hour) - 40.
FEE: 10 CHF for up to 4 days, cash only!

Lovely spot in a beautiful landscape. Can be very cold even in summer!
