109 historical buildings from all regions of Switzerland, over 200 farm animals and ancient crafts: at Ballenberg, you can experience Switzerland with all your senses. The spacious grounds of Switzerland’s only open-air museum stretch between the municipalities of Hofstetten and Brienzwiler, above Brienz, in the heart of the Bernese Oberland.

The Hasliberg sun terrace is a great place to visit in the summertime. On Mount Hasliberg, you can expect alpine fun, a mythical land of dwarves, an exciting ball run and active leisure activities in our fantastic mountain landscape. A foodie’s favourite place to start the day is the panorama restaurant Alpen Tower, which is known for its breakfast buffet.

Grimselwelt in the Bernese Oberland. Here in the world of hydropower, you can experience a leisure destination that offers everything an adventurer could want, from alpine routes, swaying suspension bridges, steep mountain railways and stylish hotel rooms in historic buildings. 

High up in the Bernese Oberland, nestled between the Brünig-Susten and Grimsel Passes in a magnificent mountain landscape, lies the Hasli Valley. Known for its culinary delicacy – meringues from Meiringen – the master detective Sherlock Holmes and Muggestutz, the dwarf of Mount Hasliberg. With a wide range of activities to experience, the mountainous area in the Jungfrau Region is a popular destination for guests in both summer and winter.

The nostalgic Reichenbachfall Funicular will transport you to the imposing, 120 m Reichenbach Falls in no time. Once you arrive at the top, you can enjoy a breath-taking view of the thundering waterfall and the Hasli Valley from three different observation terraces. This destination is a must for Sherlock Holmes fans. It was here that the famous detective challenged his nemesis Professor Moriarty to a fight – and that violent scuffle ended with a plunge into the depths of this very waterfall! 

Thundering waterfalls, romantic grottos and strange cliff formations. The unbridled energy of the glacial water is a constant presence: one moment it’s swirling around a glacial pothole, the next it’s dropping over a rocky step and roaring, foaming and bubbling as it forces its way through a bottleneck. The gorge is a true force of nature, both invigorating and breathtaking. It is surrounded by a spectacular mountain landscape of Alpine meadows, ancient and mighty maple trees, rough cliff faces and sparkling glaciers. 

A little wilder and more formidable than the average destination, Rosenlaui Glacier Gorge and the surrounding valley are well worth the trip!

A unique mountain panorama, diverse villages and countless attractions and activities provide the Jungfrau Region. However, this is not all that our holiday region has to offer.

Follow in their footsteps and let yourself be inspired by the energy of the mountains, the fresh mountain air and the power of water.
