Tour 2 - the one with the VIPs: very instagrammable places
There are places on this tour that have become true social media stars due to their uniqueness: very instagrammable places. For example, the Oeschinensee and Blausee near Kandersteg with their impressive water colours. Or the Engstligenfall waterfall near Adelboden, which can compete with any Icelandic waterfall in terms of beauty. Or the giant swing on the Tschentenalp, which is every bit as photogenic as similar attractions around the world. But despite all the popularity, you will also find dreamy retreats along this route where you can simply take a deep breath away from the hustle and bustle and admire the mountain world. Such as the Arvenseeli on the Sunnbüel. Or the Pochtenfall near Aeschiried. Just ask your hosts at the campsite, they always have a few insider tips up their sleeves.
Our recommendation for all sections of the tour: Arrive. Park up. Get going. First check in at your campsite, leave your vehicle and explore the area on foot, by bike or by public transport. With your personal guest card and the free CAMPING CARD BERNER OBERLAND, which you will receive on arrival, you can save money on many excursions and leisure activities. And public transport is also included within a limited radius.
