Bernese Oberland self-guided walking holidays

As a mountainous canton at the heart of Switzerland, the Bernese Oberland is an ideal destination for a Creative Walks walking holiday. The Bernese Oberland contains some of the highest mountains in Switzerland, but also many lakes, valleys, both steep and wide, and forests of evergreen trees. The deep valleys contain fast-flowing rivers, often joined by waterfalls that tumble from the mountains above. In the distance you espy snow all year round, you can visit the Aletsch glacier and the Jungfraujoch at 3,454 metres, but below the snowline you can explore the landscape from mountain villages such as Grindelwald and car-free Wengen.
