Bernese Oberland - home, altitude and deer heads

Ulf Lippitz, The Falstaff Travel Editors, 30.01.2026

Where mountain enthusiasts get up to speed: The winter sports areas in the Bernese Oberland are versatile for skiing, tobogganing or challenging activities.

The Bernese Oberland is considered to be the heart of Switzerland, its copycat and place of power: gorges, glaciers and deep lakes dominate the landscape, and those who set off into the mountains south of Lake Thun will discover winter sports areas that are not as overpopulated as those around Zermatt or St. Moritz.
