Aareschlucht
The Aare Gorge is a 1,400 m long and 200 m deep natural wonder. It takes around 45 minutes to walk through the imposing gorge – an easy and safe walk along walkways and through tunnels. With its constant cool temperature, the Aare Gorge is naturally refreshing – making it an ideal destination for a beautiful sunny day. When it rains, the gorge is very impressive with its mystical atmosphere and, at parts, large stretches of water. The gorge is a great destination in all weathers, and will be open from 2 April to 1 November 2021. The flat ground of the lower valley is separated from the upper valley by an impressive rock formation, dubbed the ‘Kirchet’. Over tens of thousands of years, the Aare eroded a path through the limestone cliffs of the ‘Kirchet’, forming the Aare Gorge, which is only 1–2 m wide in some places.

One of the Most Impressive Walks in Switzerland

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Aare Gorge is an incredible natural landscape and a very memorable walk. The path winds through a dramatic canyon with steep rock walls and rushing glacial water below. The walk itself is easy and well maintained, and the scenery is stunning the entire way. It ended up being one of the most surprising highlights of our trip through Switzerland.
