Located near the town of Meiringen in the Jungfrau Region, this impressive canyon attracts nature lovers, hikers, and photographers from around the globe.The Aare Gorge was formed during the last Ice Age as the Aare River carved its way through the limestone rock. With towering cliffs that reach heights of up to 200 metres, the gorge stretches about 1.4 kilometres. The dramatic landscape features stunning rock formations, crystal-clear water, and lush vegetation that flourish in the temperate climate.Aare Gorge is easily accessible from the town of Meiringen, making it a popular half day-trip destination. The site boasts well-maintained walking paths and viewing platforms, allowing you to explore the gorge safely. Illuminated tunnels and bridges enhance the experience. The paths are suitable for all age groups, making it a family-friendly destination. Besides hiking, you can enjoy photography, bird watching, and simply marvelling at the stunning views of the gorge.
