Bernese Oberland Tour – The full Swiss experience

Emily Geldard, Run the Alps guide

Guided by Emily Geldard

We ran across Alpine meadows, high mountain passes and cool gorges next to the Eiger, plus embraced the traditional festivities of Swiss National day - with plenty of local food and wine.

Running alongside Lake Bachsee, the Schreckhorn ahead in the distance.
