In the Bernese Oberland of the Canton of Bern, above Grindelwald, a wild mountain world reveals itself with spectacular glacier gorges where the mountain stream flows with unbridled force through rock mountains. The Grindelwald Glacier Gorge embodies the raw power of water in a narrow ravine whose walls rise vertically. Over millennia the water has carved through black limestone and created bizarre rock gates.

The gorge has been developed with innovative steel walkways and tunnels that lead directly into the interior of the mountain. Visitors can experience nature's force up close – the roaring mountain stream rushes beneath their feet as they walk through rock passages. With each turn new perspectives on dramatic stone formations reveal themselves. Narrow rock gates and turbulent waterfalls characterize the experience.

A captivating attraction for those who appreciate the raw beauty of mountain scenery. Access is easy and the paths are secured. The gorge should be explored at leisure – each corner of the Bernese Oberland reveals natural wonders. In winter, ice and snow can make the gorge appear even more dramatic.
