Highlights

Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains in the Berner Oberland. This unforgettable hike takes you through stunning alpine landscapes, where sheer cliffs meet lush valleys.

As you trek along well-marked trails, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of glistening glaciers and charming mountain villages. Keep your camera ready, as the iconic trio of peaks offers spectacular photo opportunities at every turn.

Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a casual walker, the diverse routes cater to all skill levels, ensuring an adventure filled with awe-inspiring scenery and lasting memories.

We have chosen to follow the Via Alpina, a trans-alpine that links the age old footpaths across the Alps. Starting in the small town of Adelboden and finishing at the foot of the impressive North face of the Eiger, exceptional hiking in the heart of Switzerland.
