You will have plenty of time to explore the streets and shops of this world famous village in the evenings, as your hotel is located right in the village.
On a clear day, you will have the opportunity to see the famous Eiger mountain. Eiger, along with Monch and Jungfrau is one of the most famous mountains in the area.
You will also visit the village of Chateau d'Oex. Here you will have the opportunity to visit the castle of Chateau d'Oex, sitting on top of a hill with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. This area is known in the ballooning circles and a hot air balloon festival is held there during the summer. This village represents the perfect image of Switzerland with the sound of cow bells in the distance, chalets whose images could have come off a box of Swiss chocolates, multitudes of flowers, green meadows, mighty mountains in the distance and cobblestone streets.
You will travel through a nature reserve, which is the home to many botanical species and much wildlife including wild goats, marmots and royal eagles. The eagles can sometimes be seen soaring over the valleys looking for prey.
Walks are between two and a half hours and five to six hours each day with stops for lunch and refreshment and to just take in the beautiful countryside.
