Bernese Oberland walking tours
The Bernese Oberland is the high country south of Bern, where the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau rise above green valleys and two long lakes. Interlaken sits on the strip of land between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz and is the usual base. From there, trains climb to Grindelwald, a village of wooden chalets under the north face of the Eiger, and to Lauterbrunnen, in a steep-sided valley where waterfalls drop straight from the cliffs. At the lower end of Lake Thun, the town of Thun has a hilltop castle and an old town built along the Aare. Trains, boats and cable cars connect almost everything, so it is easy to see several places from one base.
