You can explore this 1.6 km long river gorge in the Berner Oberland on has elevated walkways built on the cliff walls, enjoying the icy blue water and interesting curved formations on the bordering rock walls.

Aare Gorge is long alpine river gorge with icy blue water and interesting curved formations on the bordering rock walls. Kids can look for the gorge’s mascot, a “tunnel” worm, and his family hidden in the walls along the river. It’s an easy walk on the elevated walkway through the gorge, but only the west half is open to strollers and wheelchairs. There’s a fun playground outside the west entrance, a nice reward for kids after the walk. The Aare Gorge is usually combined with a visit to the nearby Reichenbach waterfalls.

Getting There

By car to west entrance: Drive towards Meiringen, following signs to the Aareschlucht, just east of the Meiringen on the south side of the river. The address is Aareschluchtstrasse, 3860 Schattenhalb. There is parking outside the entrance to the gorge.
