Previously published as The Bernese Alps, this new title, Walking in the Bernese Oberland, simply reflects the more familiar name for which this section of the Swiss Alps is known. With such eminent resorts as Grindelwald, Wengen, Mürren and Kandersteg from which to explore some of the most impressive Alpine scenery, the Bernese Oberland is a wonderland of exquisite lakes, lofty passes and hundreds of kilometres of meadowland paths to enjoy.
Overlooked by iconic mountains such as the Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau and Blüemlisalp, familiar and much-loved locations like the Bachalpsee above Grindelwald, Wengernalp near Wengen, and the Öeschinensee reached from Kandersteg are, of course, included in this latest edition of Walking in the Bernese Oberland. But there are numerous other little-known but no less spectacular valleys and mountains visited on these walks. Given enough time and energy to follow just half of the routes described will provide an intimate picture of one of the most dramatic regions in all the Alps.
This fourth edition of the Walking in the Bernese Oberland guide to the region describes no less than 110 of the best walks – sufficient to reward a hectic fortnight’s holiday!
