Walking the Bernese Highlights West

High in Switzerland’s Bernese Alps, challenge and reward go hand in hand on the eight-day 'Walking the Bernese Highlights West' trekking tour. Starting in Mürren, one of the Oberland’s most picturesque villages, this self-guided journey is tailored for seasoned hikers seeking dramatic mountain scenery and an active escape. Ascend the Sefinenfurgge and Hohturli passes for jaw-dropping views of the Bluemlisalp massif, glaciers, and turquoise Lake Oeschinensee.

Trek through wildflower-strewn valleys, cross into remote hamlets like Griesalp and Adelboden, and pass through alpine meadows to reach the stylish yet authentic resort town of Gstaad. While the route is demanding, public transport offers a safety net if you wish to skip a segment or if weather turns. Accommodations, meals, and logistical support are all included.

The trip’s unique selling point is its expertly crafted route—more challenging than its eastern counterpart—rewarding intrepid travelers with some of the most spectacular, unspoiled vistas in Europe and a true sense of alpine adventure.
