| Switzerland at its very centre |
Bern and its region Emmental, Biel-Bienne and Solothurn are what the Swiss call in German Mittelland and in English, the middle ground, simply because it is in the middle of the country. The lower part of Bern, called the Oberland, englobes very famous places like Gstaad, Interlaken and the Jungfrau region with its wonderful Jungfrau, Europe's biggest mountain, located directly in the Swiss Alps.
This region of Switzerland is also known for its breathtaking lakes such as the Lake Thun and Lake Brienz which has the reputation of being the cleanest lake. From Spring to Autumn the lakes are busy with steamers and if you are already nearby then take a look at the impressive medieval castles, Castle Oberhofen, probably being the best one.
Interlaken is famous for it's top location for practicing adventure sports. Nearly any kind of sport you can think of can be experienced there.
If you enjoyed the jet set atmosphere of Cannes in France then you shouldn't miss the resort of Gstaad located at 1100 meters in the West Bernese Oberland. It is renowned for having guest stars like Paris Hilton, Sean Connery or Roger Moore, to name a few. The pedestrian promenades are full of luxurious boutiques from Rolex, Cartier, Gucci, Hèrmes or Louis Vuitton making it a must for posh after-ski shopping. |
