โ๏ธ๐งบ What do you get when you mix hungry backpackers, a lake, and zero plans?โ
A classic Balmers sunset picnic, obviously.โ
We met at 5:45, brought questionable snacks, too much hummus, and just the right amount of chaos. Some swam, some sipped, some forgot towels... no regrets.โ

Spanning 1.4 km, this dramatic canyon is carved through 200-meter-high cliffs by the powerful Aare River, which has been shaping the landscape for over 10,000 years. The walk through the gorge is an easy and family-friendly experience, but donโt let that fool youโitโs anything but ordinary. The sound of rushing water, towering rock walls, and sheer beauty of this spot will leave you in awe.โ
โ
It can get busy, so if you want to beat the crowds and enjoy the gorge in peace, aim for late afternoon or early morning visits. On a sunny day, the blue water of the river will leave you speechless.โ
โ
How to Get There:โ
๐ Aare Gorge (Aareschlucht) is located near Meiringen in the Bernese Oberland, Swiss Alps. You can access it via two entrances (East and West), with the option to walk through or make a loop if youโre driving.โ
โ
Entry:โ
๐ธ CHF 12 (No reservation required)โ
๐ Opening Hours: April-November, 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM (longer in high season)โ
โ
Nearby Attractions & Hikes You Canโt Miss:โ
๐ Reichenbach Falls - Just a short drive away, this waterfall is not only iconic for its dramatic drop but also for its connection to Sherlock Holmes.โ
๐ Gelmerbahn - Europeโs steepest open-air funicular takes you to a stunning lake with hiking trails around it.โ
๐ Trift Bridge Hike - One of the most exhilarating hikes in Switzerlandโdonโt miss it!โ
๐ Meiringen - This small town is famous for its meringues and Sherlock Holmes-themed attractions.โ
โ
Add Aare Gorge to your list of must-see spots in the Swiss Alps. Itโs a perfect blend of nature, adventure, and a touch of history.โ

Where to go swimming in Interlakenโ
After a long day hiking in the Swiss Alps, thereโs no better way to cool off than jumping into one of Interlakenโs crystal-clear lakes or rivers. Whether youโre looking for a quick dip, a full day of sunbathing, or some adventure, Interlaken has swimming spots for everyone. Summers here can get surprisingly warm, so pack your towel and sunscreen, and dive into these stunning natural pools surrounded by the Swiss Alps.โ

Travel hack for your Switzerland trip! ๐จ๐ญโจโ
โ
If youโre getting a Swiss Travel Pass, youโll enjoy unlimited rides on trains, boats, buses & even cable cars โ but hereโs something they donโt tell you: panoramic trains are โincluded,โ but you still have to pay around 50 CHF for a seat reservation. ๐
โ
โ
BUTโฆ thereโs one stunning panoramic route thatโs completely free with your Swiss Pass!โ
Itโs the Luzern-Interlaken Express โ and trust me, the views are breathtaking! ๐๏ธ๐โ
โ
Pro tip:โ
For the best scenery, sit on the right-hand side (towards Interlaken). In peak season, you can pay 16 CHF to reserve a right-side seat, but in May, we didnโt need to. Perfect for budget travelers!โ

Stressless ๐ Bachalpsee, Switzerland ๐จ๐ญ โ
A lot of different hikes start from Grindelwald, but here is the most famous one: Hiking to Bachalpsee. It is a fascinating journey to one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Europe.โ
โ
There are two lakes, a small one and a large one. But it doesn`t matter because the place is so pleasant, relaxing, and quiet. No matter which way you look, the panorama is superb. It is a real treat to sit on the grass and enjoy the present moment.โ
โ
This round-trip hike is about 8 km (5 miles) and takes around two hoursโ
Save it for later.โ

May is the season when most of the river and glacial gorges are already open. I havenโt been to as many as I have on my bucket list, but here are a few you definitely shouldnโt miss โบ๏ธ!โ
โ
SAVE THIS VIDEO ๐ฅ TO PLAN YOUR TRIP ๐โ
โ
1๏ธโฃ TAMINA GORGE (TAMINASCHLUCHT)โ Bad Ragaz, St. Gallenโ
๐ฅพ Approx. 450 meters one way through the gorge | โฑ๏ธ 40 min totalโ
๐๐ป Source of the 36.5ยฐC warm thermal waters that made Bad Ragaz world-famous! Best to combine with surrounding hikes since the walk through the gorge itself is short.โ
โ
2๏ธโฃ ROSENLAUI GLACIER GORGE (GLETSCHERSCHLUCHT ROSENLAUI) โ Rosenlaui, Bernese Oberlandโ
Opens on May 17!โ
๐ฅพ 1.2 km loop | โฑ๏ธ 1hโ
๐๐ป A hidden gem ๐. Stunning cascade of waterfalls with magical light reflections on sunny days. Keep in mind itโs loud and narrow - not ideal for little children unless with headphones. No strollers.โ
โ
3๏ธโฃ AARE GORGE (AARESCHLUCHT ) โ Meiringen, Bernese Oberlandโ
๐ฅพ 1.4 km one way - you can walk back or take the train between entrances | โฑ๏ธ 1h 30 minโ
๐๐ป One of the most picturesque river gorges in Switzerland ๐จ๐ญ! Illuminated evenings on Fridays and Saturdays during JulyโAugust ๐คฉ. Partially accessible for strollers and ๐ฆฝ. Itโs more of a half-day trip, so it makes sense to buy a combo ticket with nearby Reichenbachfall.โ
โ
4๏ธโฃ GRINDELWALD GLACIER GORGE (GLETSCHERSCHLUCHT) โ Grindelwald, Bernese Oberlandโ
๐ฅพ 2 km round trip | โฑ๏ธ 1h 30 minโ
๐๐ป Walking through the gorge with 300-meter-high rock walls is just wow ๐คฉ. The 170 mยฒ โSpiderwebโ net suspended over the gorge is thrilling! This gorge is also beautifully illuminated.โ
โ
What do you think about these suggestions? I have so many more gorges on my list - I just wish I had more time to see them all ๐.โ
Any other gorge youโd recommend visiting?โ
