Bernese Oberland – For staggeringly beautiful scenery on an epic scale.
It’s impossible to imagine just how mind-blowingly stunning the landscapes of Bernese Oberland are, where world-class mountain peaks meet medieval towns and Alpine lakes to truly awe-inspiring effect.
Located south of Switzerland’s capital Bern, the region’s offerings are as diverse as its landscape, with visitors spoiled by hiking, climbing, skiing, boating, paragliding, historical tours, the Jungfrau cog railway and attractions aplenty. Or simply take a trip to any of the array of viewing platforms for an eyegasm of extraordinarily pretty panoramas alongside a coffee and carac.
Must-sees and dos include Mürren's jaw-dropping Klettersteig and 007 Walk of Fame, Europe’s highest train station of Jungfraujoch (complete with Snow Fun Park and Ice Palace), a day trip from Interlaken to the Schynige Platte, admiring the Reichenbach Falls and eating meringues at their birthplace (and the site of Sherlock Holmes’ death) of Meiringen, and adrenalising with an activity to suit at adventure capital, Interlaken.
