BERNESE OBERLAND HOLIDAYS    >   SWITZERLAND  


Rosenlaui Gorge, Glacier Gorge, Aare Gorge. Sailboats bobbing up and down on lakes, pleasure boats pull their tracks through turquoise blue water: Lake Thun, Lake Brienz.
On the banks, in the valleys and on terraces villages as if painted. Richly decorated chalets and guest houses that exude comfort: folk art at its finest.
In between, castles, bearing witness of wealth, and hotel palaces from the early days of tourism, lovingly preserved. Dark forests extend to the rocky peaks.
At Alpine meadows cows graze under ancient maple trees. In mountain lakes white peaks refelct. And over it shimmers, a highlight with magical allure, the snow-covered massif of Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau.

The Bernese Oberland [ Bernese Highlands ] is the higher part of the canton of Bern. This is the area around Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, and the valleys south of it [ Bernese Alps ].
