Bernese Oberland & Valais

The go-to Bernese Oberland travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover Bernese Oberland on foot with the Sunflower Bernese Oberland travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours or train tours.

The Sunflower Bernese Oberland guide is indispensable for hiking in Bernese Oberland or seeing Bernese Oberland by car. Although a car is the best way to explore much of the Oberland and Valais, Switzerland boasts the world's best public transport system. You can see a vast majority of its mountain landscapes by public transport.

There are many suggested train tours in the guide. But where trains don't go, buses will - even to remote valleys and hamlets. Switzerland is a hiker's paradise (you would expect nothing less of a country which has an article in its constitution regulating the responsibilities of those who maintain the thousands of kilometres of hiking paths!).

Mountain huts and comfortable hotels sit atop summits reached by spectacular train or cable car rides, but there is still plenty of space where you will hardly meet a soul. The author, who lives in the area and has written several guides for walkers, caters for all abilities - from gentle strolls through the wine villages of the Valais to more strenuous hikes beside the north face of the Eiger or alongside the largest glacier in the Alps. Information 'boxes' add interest to the book - whether describing grape varieties and harvesting methods or the engineering feats of the country's dams and irrigation channels.
