Bernese Highlands Overview

By Travel Expert: Christine Loomis

Eiger, Monch, Jungfrau—the names conjure up images of craggy, cloud-piercing peaks white with snow even when alpine valleys and villages below are living a flower-filled summer. These are the legendary peaks of the Bernese Alps, and even if they don't tell the whole story of Switzerland's Bernese Highlands, they are both the stage and backdrop. Bernese Oberland lies in the southwestern part of the country. Its primary villages are Brienz, Interlaken, Grindelwald, and Meiringen, each with its own charms in summer and winter.
