Berner Oberland Inn-to-Inn Hike / 9 NIghtS
Hike from village-to-village in Switzerland’s premier fairytale region, the Bernese Oberland.
The Berner Oberland is picture-perfect Switzerland with green rolling hills, cows grazing in flower-filled pastures, glacier-covered peaks, and cute wooden chalets adorned with flower boxes in every window. The scenery in the Berner Oberland is breathtaking. Hikers enjoy walking the mountain paths beneath a trio of stunning mountains, the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, and the famous Lauterbrunnen Valley beguiles visitors with its well-manicured mountain pastures, precipitous cliffs, and 72 ethereal waterfalls. Our nine night inn-to-inn hike through the Berner Oberland connects the towns of Interlaken and Kandersteg with a host of idyllic mountain villages and hamlets in between. Hikers crossing the Berner Oberland enjoy scenic mountain trails by day and cozy accommodations by night. Mountain chalet restaurants serve hot local specialties for lunch, and there’s a little something for everyone in terms of comfort and cuisine, from rustic mountain huts offering simple fare to high end luxury hotels boasting extensive wine lists.
Looking for an equally amazing but shorter hike? Check out our five night Berner Oberland inn-to-inn hike. We also have a seven night hike called the Jungfrau Wanderweek which is identical to the nine night itinerary but ends in Mürren instead of Kandersteg.
