Gelmerbahn probably wouldn't have been on my radar if it wasn't for my kids finding it on TikTok…read morebut I'm so glad they found it. We based most of our Switzerland stay in Brienz and this was about 45 minute drive for us. The mountain roads leading up to the area are gorgeous. I guess because this is huge on TikTok you need to pre-book your tickets. Luckily I was able to book for a day out. I chose one of the earlier time slots so we could also spend some time at the top. Roundtrip price for adults is 36CHF and for kids 18CHF so this is not the cheapest activity but if you plan to spend some time at the top hiking and enjoying the scenery it's definitely worth it. Make sure to bring snacks or lunch because there is nothing at the top. If you plan to hike wear good shoes the paths are rocky. If you just want to walk around the lake and dam sneakers are fine. There is a bathroom and porta-potty at the top. Make sure to show up for your time slot early. You will need to park at the lot (free) and walk about 5 minutes uphill. If you miss your time slot you're walking. We found the staff friendly, helpful and spoke multiple languages.

So cool! A fun ride, even though it's slow. Be sure to wear comfy shoes because you'll want to…read morewalk around once you get to the top. You can use a credit card but the ladies that were working the ticket booth were NOT friendly. But that doesn't matter ... it's cool and a fun little activity. There is also a suspension bridge to walk across. Bonus!

It always has at least one hour waiting time unless you get very lucky in the early morning 4. There are an increasing number of traffic lights that dwindle the amount of cars down so that only a number of cars are allowed through 5. It is incredibly long and boring to drive through 6. You can drive over the pass, which I am considering doing this time because of the extreme long waiting times (we have sat there for an hour and a half).

Well, I'm not sure if you really have a choice as to whether you have to go through here or not…read more Sure, you could go over the mountain - I'm sure that's possible, though I suspect it is quite time consuming as well. Apparently this used to be the longest car tunnel in the world - not so sure if it is any more. Mind you, it is pretty hairly travelling through it, particularly since it not only goes on for ages, but it is single lane in both directions, so it is also quite slow going. Oh, and one thing about tunnels is that they can be incredibly hypnotising, meaning that they also have the ability to put you to sleep, particularly if they are as long as this one.

This was such an awesome place to visit when in Hasli Valley in Bernese Oberland. It truly is a…read morenatural wonder, and no picture will really show the true beauty you will see in person. What's great about the Aares Gorge is that it can be visited rain or shine. You'll get a different perspective depending on the weather. Give yourself plenty of time here. It's about a mile walk (45-60 minutes) along the limestone gorge and through the tunnels. It's truly a unique experience that deserves a special trip. I've never seen anything quite like it. It really shows you the torrential power of glaciel water as it carves its way over time through the valley. There are 2 entrances with parking lots. We started at the west entrance and exited at the east side. There was so much to see in between (including a waterfall). There is also a view of cave entrances from the pathway that were built to house the military during WWII. Fortunately, they never had to use it. There are interesting facts displayed along the way. It's pretty much an easy walk until you get to the east side. There is more of an incline on your way up as well as some steps up the hill. Just plan your entrance accordingly if you have limited mobility. It worked out very well for us. We were rewarded with a beautiful view of the Alps when exiting at the east side. Our guide met us in the parking lot. You can return by train to your initial starting point as well. I also have one piece of advice that may be helpful to some. Don't even try to pronounce "Aareschlucht" if you're not proficient in German. It could come out sounding like another German word that is offensive. Lol! We were thankfully warned about it ahead of time. Just call it "Aare Gorge." Haha! I'm sure they here it all the time. We loved this experience so much!! There's so much to do here in the Canton of Bern. Make it a part of your trip when in Switzerland.
