Just a 1-hour drive from Lucerne lies the Aare Gorge. Between the villages of Meiringen and Innertkirchen, the Aare River has carved a gorge in the limestone, reaching depths of up to 200 meters in some areas.

Over thousands of years, the river has eroded its way through the rock, creating a 1.4-kilometer-long gorge.
On a walk through the Aare Gorge, you can experience the raw power of nature like few other places.

Thanks to walkways and tunnels, this mystical landscape is easy to explore. The 1.4-kilometer path through the captivating gorge is an easy walk, taking about one hour to complete. Formed by Ice Age glaciation, the mile-long Aare Gorge (Aareschlucht) ranges in width from just three to 100 feet.

The thunderous roar of glacial water rushing through the gorge surrounds you, accompanied by glacial mills and stunning limestone formations. Below, icy water pushes relentlessly, while towering rock faces rise to seemingly endless heights above.

Discover, feel, and experience this natural wonder up close. Safely explore the geology and glaciology through tunnels and over footbridges.

This tour, available from April to November, is suitable for children of all ages and is partially wheelchair accessible. A guide, who also serves as the driver, will pick you up directly from your hotel and return you after the tour, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience throughout.
