The Aare Gorge (Aareschlucht) is one of Switzerland's most impressive geological attractions. This narrow, winding gorge was carved over thousands of years by the powerful flow of the Aare River, which continues to run through it, creating a dramatic landscape of steep limestone walls that rise to 650 feet on either side.

You can walk along a series of well-maintained paths and boardwalks suspended along the cliffside, providing breathtaking views of the rushing turquoise waters below and the towering rock formations above.

The path is easily accessible and suitable for all ages, making it a popular destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Along the way, you'll encounter several observation points and information panels detailing the gorge's geological history and the forces that shaped its rugged landscape.

The Aare Gorge is open from April to November, with the best time to visit being in the warmer months when the gorge is lush and the river is flowing at its fullest.

Logistics tip: park at the West Entrance, walk up the gorge, and then take a train hidden inside one side of the gorge on your way back — it's already included in your ticket.

In addition to the dramatic scenery, the cool air within the gorge offers a refreshing escape from the summer heat. The gorge is also conveniently located near other attractions, such as the Reichenbach Falls—famous as the fictional site of Sherlock Holmes's final battle with Professor Moriarty—and the picturesque village of Meiringen, known for its charming alpine architecture and delicious meringues.
