Winter excursions in Bernese Oberland

The velogemel is a cross between a bicycle, a sled and skis – the ideal choice for fun in the snow, even though that wasn’t its original purpose.

For the first time ever, the great mysteries of the world are available at one location to be experienced and sensed.

You can take the cable car from Wengen to the 2343-meter-high Männlichen in just a few minutes. Once at the top, a unique view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau awaits you. A short marked hiking trail leads to the summit.

Discover the St. Beatus Caves above Lake Thun: Stalactite grottoes, waterfalls and the exciting dragon saga await you. In the cave museum you will learn everything about the hidden world inside the mountain.

Schadau Castle was built between 1846 and 1854 for the Neuchâtel banker Denis Alfred de Rougemont. The location of the castle, on the southern banks of Lake Thun where the River Aare flows out of the lake, and with its views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, is almost as attractive as the architecture itself.

Half boat, half bathtub: that’s the Hot Tug. Sitting comfortably in 38-degree water, gliding across Lake Brienz while snowflakes melt on your forehead. Winter bathing has never been cooler.
