Visit Bernese Oberland, Switzerland

With its glacier-strewn mountains, alphorn players and strong cheeses, the Bernese Oberland embodies the classic postcard image of the Alps. It’s also home to the Jungfrau resort area, which takes advantage of the singular mountain views, winter sports and Swiss hospitality. Interlaken, Grindelwald and Wengen are the best-known resorts, in an area that’s also easy to navigate via Switzerland’s excellent national rail system as well as a network of scenic trains and cable cars.

Our team of travel experts can help you craft a trip to suit your preferences. You can indulge in local treats like cheese fondue and handmade chocolate, take a train through the mountain passes or play in the snow at Jungfraujoch, the self-styled Top of Europe.

You’re likely to base your visit in one of the many small villages rife with flower-decked timber-frame houses. Some of the resorts, like Wengen, are car-free and invite you to take in the clean mountain air on foot. But it’s the scenery that truly defines the region. The many hiking trails threaded through the mountain landscapes allow you to soak in the majesty of the glaciers at your own pace, all with the storied triple peaks of the Jungfrau, the Mönch and the Eiger as your backdrop.
