A guidebook to 50 day walks in Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland. Exploring the dramatic scenery of the Jungfrau region the walks are suitable for beginner and experienced walkers alike and cover Grindelwald, Wengen, Lauterbrunnen Valley and Mürren.

Walks range from 5 to 23km (3–14 miles) in length and can be enjoyed in 1–10 hours. Each walk is graded to allow you to select the most suitable routes for your ability. Many also take advantage of the widespread public transport and lifts around the Bernese Oberland to provide options for walks at a higher altitude.

1:50,000 maps included for each walk

GPX files available to download

Highlights include Untersteinberg and Schynige Platte

Jonathan has been Cicerones publisher and managing director for over 20 years, working with authors and leading the development of the range. Lesley has been Cicerones marketing director, leading Cicerones sales efforts and now concentrating on the overall marketing strategy. Although they met at sea, they quickly gravitated to the mountains and trekking, before taking on Cicerone to communicate their passion for mountains, wild places and other journeys on foot or by bike. Based on the edge of the Lake District, they have few excuses for not spending days in the hills but do need to get out more. They would like to thank the whole Cicerone team for allowing them to moonlight as authors.
