THE'Bernese Oberland is a region of Swiss corresponding to the south of Canton of Bern.

Understand

This region is a set of mountains exceeding the 3 000 m and 4 000 m, with a unique Mönch, Eiger and Jungfraü triptych. And the Finsteraarhorn (4 274 m)

Hidden lakes such as Oeschinen in its setting, or those of Brienz and Thun which spread out their mass of azure blue or turquoise water depending on the different levels of sunshine.

Places that demonstrate the boldness of the Helvetians to share large-scale sites and make them discover as rarely in the world: Jungfraujoch, Shiltorn, Brienzer Rothorn, see even Glacier 3000.

World famous ski resorts like Adelboden, Grindelwald, Wengen and its Lauberhorn.

But also delicious and so different cities like Iseltwald, Lauterbrunnen, Hasliberg, and an attractive and friendly central city Interlaken and its carriage rides, surrounded by Lake Thun to the west with two other beautiful cities, Spiez and Thun; and to the east with Brienz, the city of wood for its sculptures and chalets among which it is good to walk on foot. And the traditional Swiss open-air Museum in Ballenberg ... top (plan at least h 00).

And waterfalls such as Staubbach, the highest in Europe with a single jump, Trümmelbach and its multiple waterfalls between caves, crevices, winding jumps, and in addition, the Aare gorges, right next to the place, with Reichenbach Falls where Sherlock Holmes himself jumped into the water.

And what about the very busy and traveled valleys of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen, but what about those of Rosenlaui and especially the Engstenalp with its free cows (July and August), and the marmots. A very relaxed toll for 8 chf, and the valley is yours ... I like ... and in the evening you can see very beautiful deer (not guaranteed). And the Gasteretal and Gasterntal (after Kandersteg) and the ledge road cut into the rock where we have h 20 to pass because single-track to find yourself in a site where the path takes you to the Berggasthaus Heimritz ... for some it is a paradise. Guaranteed disconnection.

Do you know Meiringen, the town of Meringue, and Frutigen for its sturgeon farmed caviar.

Know that even UNESCO to find these beautiful places, it is saying that nothing escapes them.
