Overview of your Bern tour:

Winter hike to Europe's oldest mountain hut which includes visits by famous guests such as Mark Twain, Picasso and Alexandre Dumas. The Leukerbad/Gemmi region is a winter paradise in intact natural surroundings. There is hardly any other place on Earth this close to paradise. A unique panorama opens up around you. You will be rewarded with many magnificents views. We will take the cable car to the summit of the Gemmi at 2350 m above sea level. On the way, you can already see the peaks of Valais Alps (highest peaks of Switzerland) dominating the horizon. At midday, we will be reaching one of the oldest mountain hut in Europe, Berghotel Schwarzenbach. The fresh mountain air at this altitude will give you a hearty appetite, where we will enjoy a local lunch. We will continue wandering trough beautiful, unspoiled nature. This winter walk will end and we will comfortably go back to the valley by cable car reaching Kandersteg, the Bernese Oberland region.
