Select participants and date
A morning in the Bernese Oberland begins with a highway cut loose into mountain—green pastures falling away as the driver threads a route toward Interlaken. The private Mercedes eases into town and the peaks close in: Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau loom like patient giants. On this full-day private tour, the scenery is the local raconteur—hard-edged limestone ridges, glaciers that once carved the valleys, and waterfalls that seem to dare you to stand beneath their spray.

Adventure Tips
Wear grippy shoes
Boardwalks and gorge staircases can be wet and uneven—sturdy hiking shoes reduce slip risk.
Layer up for rapid changes
Temperatures can drop sharply at Harder Kulm; pack a light insulating layer and a windproof shell.
Bring a small cash reserve
Most terraces and small shops accept cards but some artisan stalls prefer cash—CHF 20–50 is handy.
Tell the guide about mobility limits
Parts of the gorge and some viewpoints involve steps; inform the operator at booking to adjust the itinerary.
