Bernese Oberland

This picturesque corner of Switzerland offers some of the most spectacular experiences if you’re hiking in the shadow of the Eiger's north face, admiring the villages of Gstaad or Murren, or watching the thundering Staubbach Falls from Lauterbrunnen, the Swiss Alps don’t get more in-your-face beautiful than this. 

There are plenty of this to do when visiting which do not include hiking, do not miss: 

1. The Jungfraujoch, the top of Europe, a viewing and adventure platform at 3454 meters above sea level providing breathtaking views across the Alps.

2. Schilthorn,  a panoramic revolving restaurant at the summit, Piz Gloria, which was featured in the James Bond movie, Her Majesty's Secret Service.

3. The First Cliff Walk, a lookout platform near the terrace at the Bergrestaurant. The terrace rises 45 metres out into the void simulating the feeling of flying in the mountains

4. The Gletscher Schlucht (Grindelwald Glacier Gorge), a popular destination for a unique sensory walk through its exposed rock galleries and tunnels, which have been carved out by glacier melt. 

Macs Adventure has been running self-guided walking holidays in Swizterland since 2008.  Whether you like mountains and hills, lakes, rivers and glaciers, dreamy villages and well preserved medieval cities, Switzerland has something to offer for everyone. This abundance of wonderful places to explore lead us to seek out more and more areas where we could help people to discover Switzerland on foot. 

From humble beginnings, we now send over 2000 walkers to Switzerland every year, each walking the route that excites them the most. We provide the freedom to choose your route, itinerary and travel companions and discover Switzerland at your own pace. 

We know how daunting it can be, setting off on an adventure of this scale and we quickly realised how important it was to have amazing partners on the ground in Switzerland to deal with any issues that you might come across.  We are proud to say that we work incredibly closely with all our accommodation suppliers and luggage transfer teams and should you have the slightest issue, they will fall over themselves to help you out. 

We offer a flexible, tailor-made hiking experience that gets you in comfortable, friendly overnight accommodation in local B&Bs and guesthouses. We carry your bags to lighten your load so you can concentrate on simply putting one foot in front of the other and enjoying the unique culture, food and scenery of France. No hostels, no leaky tents, no heavy bags on your back just a straightforward active holiday that you can book with confidence that we have it all covered for you. 

We want to showcase our expertise, by giving you all the resources you will ever need.  In the planning stage, we have free guides, comprehensive videos and a host of staff with their own Swiss experiences, waiting to answer your questions. On the route, we use high-quality digital mapping as well as the best maps and guidebooks to make sure you find your way.  

We love the diversity of walking in Switzerland and our main aim is to make sure that you do too.
