Berner Oberland

Surrounded by the trio of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau lies a sea of white peaks – a dream for ski and snowboard tour enthusiasts who can enjoy themselves here for weeks. The Rother Ski Touring Guide "Berner Oberland" describes 50 of the most beautiful tours between Gstaad and Meiringen – ranging from easy to challenging, from classic to hidden gems. Daniel Anker, one of Switzerland's most renowned mountain book authors and alpine journalists, has curated a wide selection of tours for this book. There is a suitable tour for every taste and every snow and weather condition. Short ascents and long descents in powder snow are characteristic of the ski tours in this region. Of course, the highly praised "Lötschenlücke" is included – from Jungfraujoch over the Aletsch Glacier into the Valais. The two "Haute Routes" through the western Alps are also featured.
