Grand Bernese Oberland Traverse

Rating
Reviewed by: anonymous

This was my third Run the Alps self-guided tour, and as in the past, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The route was breathtaking, and all I had to do each morning was open the app and follow the GPS track. The hotels were all comfortable and seemed to be familiar with and fans of Run the Alps. Having someone else handle logistics for a ten-day trip is a treat, and I’m already thinking about next summer’s adventure.

Why

This was my third Run the Alps trip. I did the Via Valais route last summer and fell in love with Switzerland, so the Grand Bernese Oberland was an obvious next choice.

Advice

Have fun, take you time, remember to stop to look behind you every once in a while.

Highlight

Spending the night in the Berghotel Obsersteinberg, a mountain hut reachable only by foot.
