Our trip
Explore mountain landscapes that include such legendary peaks as the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
Stroll through typical Swiss villages nestled in the picture-perfect alpine meadows of the Bernese Oberland.
Hike along a section of the Eiger Trail, right beneath the Eiger's mighty north face.
Enjoy easy access to and from the meeting point in Interlaken.
More info >>
The Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, or in English, the Ogre, Monk, and Maiden, form the trio of world-renowned 4000 meter peaks (well, 3967 for the Eiger) that give the Bernese Oberland its legendary reputation. These "highlands" (literally in German) form the European Alps' most massive glacier-covered sub range, bigger than the Mt. Blanc and Mt. Rose ranges combined! The many quaint alpine villages, like Gindewald and Mûrren, follow in Swiss tradition, while the surrounding mountain pastures add the finishing touch to the idyllic Swiss landscape. Traverse through the alpine meadows and valleys of the north end of the range as you take in the breathtaking panoramic views along relatively easy balcony trails.
