A family with two daughters stands on a bridge in the Aare gorge.

Aare Gorge and Reichenbach Falls.

Mystical, ice-blue and unforgettable.

Experience a wonder of nature: ice-blue glacier water and imposing limestone formations.

Constant dripping erodes the stone: over tens of thousands of years, the Aare has worked its way through the limestone cliffs of the Haslital. Marvel at the resulting rock formations and get up close to the glacial cavities on your tour through caves and over footbridges. The Aare Gorge is an all-weather destination – refreshing on hot summer days and even more impressive when it rains.

Fancy a dose of mystery to go with the mystique? See the infamous Reichenbach Falls with your own eyes. This is where master detective Sherlock Holmes challenged his arch-enemy Professor Moriarty to a fight. The struggle ended with a grim fall into the depths – right into the thundering basin of the Reichenbach Falls. A waterfall which made literary history.
