Innertkirchen: Hotel Steingletscher - Blick zur Steinalp Lodge und Giglistock
Tucked between the Haslital and Goms valleys in the Bernese Alps, Grimsel Hospiz is a place whose character is shaped by its position on the Grimsel Pass. This high crossing forms part of the route between Innertkirchen in the Bernese Oberland and Gletsch in Valais, following a long-established passage across the Alpine watershed. The hospiz stands beside Grimselsee, a reservoir within the hydroelectric landscape of the Grimsel area. Stone slopes, sharp ridges and the pass road give the settlement a distinctly high-mountain character, while its historic inn recalls the pass's role as a resting point for travellers.

Innertkirchen is best known in the Bernese Oberland for its close connection to the Aare Gorge, a 1.4-kilometre ravine cut by the Aare. The settlement stands where the Gadmerwasser joins the Aare, in the Haslital valley between routes leading toward the Grimsel and Susten passes. Walkways and tunnels make the gorge accessible in the warmer months, bringing visitors close to the river’s tight rock corridor. The Meiringen–Innertkirchen Railway links the village with Meiringen, while the surrounding valleys are shaped by water, mountain roads and hydropower.

Built around the Aare River and routes across the Swiss Plateau, Bern grew into a canton connecting the federal capital with the Bernese Oberland. Its territory extends from Jura foothills and farmland through the Aare valley to the high Alps around the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The city of Bern, Switzerland’s federal capital, preserves an Old Town inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, while Thun and Interlaken lead towards Lakes Thun and Brienz. Urban institutions, dairy farming and established alpine resorts give the canton a notably broad Swiss character.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
