Bern Baby Bern – 10 Highlights
Exhilarating moments and thrills galore await you in Bern.
From the UNESCO-protected capital to the world-famous
Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, you will find everything your heart
desires! Here are 10 places in the canton of Bern that you
really need to see before you leave:
Gstaad – Fondueland
Delicious fondues with panoramic
views are on offer at Fondueland
Gstaad. Waiting for cheese-lovers
are two purpose-built huts and two
oversized caquelons, which can
cater for up to eight people. And
after the fondue, a circular hike
on foot or a short bike ride in the
fresh air will help you to digest the
cheese you have enjoyed so much.
Old Town of Bern – capital city
and World Cultural Heritage site
in one
The Bernese Old Town has been a UNESCO
World Cultural Heritage site since 1983. The
arcades are an inviting place for a stroll,
and the basement venues include shops,
restaurants and cultural activities that are just
waiting to be discovered. And there is the
Aare river. Locals and tourists love bathing
in the cool water. A summer visit to the city is
not complete without a detour to the Marzili.

Lake Oeschinen – glacier water
above Kandersteg
From Kandersteg you can walk up to Lake
Oeschinen in about an hour and a half.
Alternatively, you can also take the gondola
to this lake located in the extended UNESCO
World Natural Heritage site. Its deep blue
waters flow from the surrounding glacier
brooks. Nevertheless, or even more precisely
because of this, it is also a popular bathing
lake in summer.
