Striking example of this region of the majestic Alps, Interlaken is a treasure trove of natural wonders, not least of which are the glaciers that have sculpted its landscape over millennia. The glaciers around Interlaken, remnants of the last Ice Age, are a profound testament to nature's artistry and power.
One such marvel is the Lower Grindelwald Glacier, which once filled the Glacier Canyon, a staggering chasm now open for exploration. Visitors can traverse a one-kilometer-long walkway that winds through this canyon, with its 300-meter-high rock walls that were carved by the glacier's relentless force. The journey through the gorge is an immersive experience, offering not only a walk through tunnels and rock galleries but also educational insights into the geology, hydrology, and history of glaciers.
The Glacier Canyon Grindelwald, with its "spider’s web" net stretched seven meters above the Lütschine river, provides a thrilling vantage point to witness the sheer scale of the glacially-formed valley. Open from May to mid-November, it is recommended to dress warmly to navigate the cooler temperatures typical of these altitudes.
