Welcome 2 Bernese Oberland

 
There are times when the reality of Switzerland puts postcard idealization to shame, surpassing blue skies and advertising-image peaks with its own astonishing vividness. Those times happen often in the Berner Oberland -- the Bernese Alps. This region concentrates the very best of rural Switzerland: mountain panoramas that can't be overrated, massive glaciers, crystalline lakes, gorges and waterfalls, ski resorts, and emerald slopes scattered with alpine chalets.  
     
The Swiss certainly know how to have fun. The people of the Bernese Oberland clearly take the lead by offering every exciting outdoor sport possible in their mountains, lakes, and rivers. The Alps of course have incredible hiking opportunities with thousands of trails for all skill levels. Additionally, the mountain sports include; rock/ice climbing, bungee jumping, canyoning (river rafting without a raft!), rappelling, hang-gliding, kayak and rafting, mountain biking, skiing, and tobogganing.  
     
The Bernese Oberland is one of the most spectacularly beautiful regions of Switzerland. It is well worth a visit, especially during the summer months. The combination of snow-capped mountain peaks, fresh air, summer heat, jagged rocks and lush rolling green hills will quickly fascinate you. If you like hiking you will find your "eldorado" in the Bernese Oberland. You will be rewarded with 100% pure nature. From the romantic shores of Lake of Thun until the endless forests until the freezing cold in glaciers, one highlight follows the other.
