In the Kander Valley you can experience the high Bernese Alps right up close. The snow-crowned peaks surround the valley and offer tempting activities, some of them relaxing, others a little more thrilling! In summer, you have the choice of mountain hikes, that come in varying degrees of difficulty, adventures on the via ferrata, or a try at mountain climbing. Waiting for you in the Kander Valley are not only the magnificent mountain peaks but also wild romantic natural scenery, the mountain lakes of the Unesco World Heritage Site, historic mountain passes, themed trails for the whole family, the steepest postbus route in the world and lots more. The Kander Valley is easily accessible with public or private transport; however, the valley has kept its typical Bernese Oberland character intact – in keeping with alpine culture. 9

The Simme Valley is the home of the world famous Simmentaler spotted cow. Alpine culture, traditions, and customs are purposely cultivated here. The traditional Procession of Cows in St.Stephan and the Farmer’s Market in Boltigen always attract many visitors. Among the other highlights are the Lenk Culture Days in October, including a large Alpine Festival, a “Hornuss” tournament (an indigenous Swiss sport), and workshops which give visitors an insight into yodelling, alphorn playing, cheese-making etc.

In summer, the Simme Valley is a valley of water and a walkers’ paradise. The source of the Simme River and the Iffig Waterfall are well-known beauty spots. Over 600 km of signposted walking trails lead from the valley bottom high up into the mountains near to the glaciers. Interesting adventure and themed walk - ing trails turn walking into a playful experience – and not just for children. You can also reach the most beautiful spots of our holiday destination on the numerous bike routes.

Lenk offers various attractions for families, such as children’s entertainment programmes, a marmot and lynx trail in summer as well as the Stoss children’s world in winter. In autumn 2011, a new adventure, play and meeting venue is due to open by the Lenkerseeli Lake. An alp will be reproduced, covering an area of 8000 m2. Here visitors will be encouraged to actively discover its numerous play features, which are creat - ed from natural materials. In this way, children and adults who are young-at-heart will gain an under- standing of traditional and modern ways of life in Alpine and mountain farming. In addition, the Simme valley offers many attractions that focus on Alpine culture, such as sleeping on the mountain, working on the farm, visits to Alpine establishments and Alpine cheese dairies or Alpine wellness. 13 Winter Sports Arena and Cultural Highlights

Together Lenk and Adelboden form the “Adelboden-Lenk ...dänk!” winter sports arena. The area comprises 72 lifts and 210 km of pistes. Beginners love the wide runs while bolder skiers can take advantage of chal- lenging descents. Families appreciate the manageable ski area with the Stoss children’s world and the ski schools on the Betelberg. In addition, the snowboard and boarder-cross parks; toboggan runs, cross- country trails, and marked snowshoe routes through unspoilt natural surroundings offer variety for all winter sports lovers. Countless restaurants, cosy mountain huts and snow bars invite guests to linger and enjoy themselves. The travelling stage for culture and events, DAS ZELT, is particularly enjoyable and in the winter there are also performances in Lenk. Well-known artists from all over Switzerland present top-class comedy inter- ludes, shows and concerts. In the summer, strains of jazz and classical music fill the air in the Simme valley; international greats play at the Lenk Jazz Days in a relaxed open-air atmosphere and music teachers and students from all over the world demonstrate their talent in concerts during the International Summer Music Academy.

Tip The Simme Valley’s agricultural roots have always characterised the valley. A visit to a farming family allows an interesting glimpse into this world and everyday life on a farm – and is popular with guests of all ages. Several farms in the Simme Valley offer guided visits.

This exciting holiday region offers a unique range of activities and events.

The Museum Pass is at your disposal for visits to the many castles and museums around Lake Thun. On Europe’s most beautiful lake stage, the Musical “Gotthelf” will be performed for the first time. In Thun, many events have been organised to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the death of Heinrich Kleist, who wrote the work “Den zerbrochenen Krug” here. From 16th –19th June the Bollywood-Festival will take place followed by the International Barrel Organ Festival on 16th –17th July.

Our partners, Niesen, Niederhorn, Stockhorn, as well as the Ships Company on Lake Thun have come up with a number of attractive special offers and ideas for excursions.

For team and group activities such as Tipi Magic with drinks, a Native Indian meal and overnight stay, or a snow play, bridge-building or abseiling, just contact Falkevent who will organise the perfect event for you. The mountain specialists at the Alpine School Bergfalke can arrange freeride-ski and snowboard tours, ice climbing, snow-shoe adventures, climbing, glacier trekking and via ferratas, all in the local area.

In the holiday villages around Lake Thun, guests can enjoy all sorts of performances such as open-air plays, classical and folklore concerts, themed guided tours, and sports events. For sports fans, there are plenty of ways to pass the time: sailing, diving, swimming, wind surfing, tennis, minigolf or discovering the region by the many marked hiking, cycling and mountain biking routes. The less energetic can hire an electric bike for a less strenuous trip. 17 Culture and Nature on Lake Thun

The Lake Thun region offers a combination of city charm and natural wonders. In the morning you can stroll around the picturesque old town of Thun and, in the afternoon, immerse yourself in the magical mountain world. Lovely hills but also steep peaks surround Lake Thun. The area is ideal for hiking and cycling. Those who like to take it a bit easier can just take the cable car or funicular to the summit and enjoy the wonderful views from there. The glistening surface of the lake will tempt you to take to the water. Here sports fans will certainly get their money’s worth, as will day trippers enjoying a relaxing trip on a ship. Cultural events in Thun regularly attract visitors from near and far. On one of Europe’s most beautiful lake stages, exhilarat - ing musicals are performed each summer. However, the Lake Thun region also includes pretty villages along the lake and in the hills, characterised by traditional wooden houses that are typical of the character of the whole Bernese Oberland region.

Tip Nature, tradition and the modern age live harmoniously together in Thun. The largest city in the Bernese Oberland has attractions for every kind of weather: perhaps a visit to Castle Hill, the fairytale castle of Schadau, the wonderful parks along the shores of the lake or the historic Thun Panorama – and, of course, the incomparable natural surroundings of Lake Thun and the Alps. 19
