Day 2 to 7 – Days at leisure in the Bernese Oberland and nearby Valais

The Bernese Oberland is the cradle of tourism in Switzerland. With two beautiful navigable lakes, different valleys, each with its own unique character, many mountain railways, cable cars and scenic bus lines, it offers a wealth of opportunities to spend a great holiday. As well the region offers a variety of varied hiking and cycling tours, enjoyable boat trips, exciting outdoor activities and much more…

Just south of the Loetschberg base train tunnel, the Valais offers more possibilities and a totally different culture too! Use the opportunity to explore this region and for example, see the Matterhorn in Zermatt.

Because of the excellent railway connections, also a city trip to Thun, Bern or even Zurich and Basel can easily be done, maybe on a cloudy or rainy day?

View from the Niesen funicular railway on Eiger Moench and Jungfrau

Excursion to Niesen – the Swiss Pyramid included
Are there pyramids in Switzerland? Well, at least natural ones. This one, the Niesen, can be “climbed” by a funicular, actually the longest of its kind in the world. Next to the tracks, the longest stairs (for maintenance and evacuation only) is the scene of a yearly run up the 11,674 steps! From the summit, an overwhelming panorama of the Bernese Alps and the lakes is the reward of the visit.
