Eriz: Unterlangenegg - Fahrni - Uetendorf - Schwarzenegg - Stockhorn - Riggisberg - Gurnigel Pass - Jura - Buchen
The landscape around Eriz is a rolling pre-Alpine mosaic of pasture and wooded slopes, which has shaped both farmsteads and local life. This dispersed Bernese settlement lies in the Eriz valley, where cattle farming and Alpine grazing remain central to land use. Stockhorn, rising to 2,190 metres, is one of the defining summits of the Bernese Prealps; its rocky upper section contrasts with the gentler hills around Buchen and Unterlangenegg. Gurnigel Pass is a high route across the Bernese foothills, while the Jura lies beyond the lower countryside. Working meadows, isolated farmhouses and the Bernese Oberland’s cheese-making tradition give this area its enduring rural character.

The landscape around Eriz is a rolling pre-Alpine valley of pasture, forest and dispersed farms, which has shaped both its settlement pattern and dairy-based agriculture. The municipality lies in the Eriz Valley, in the northern foothills of the Bernese Alps, away from the urban corridor around Bern. Its settlements, including Innereriz and Aussereriz, retain the rural character of the Bernese Oberland, where Alpine pastureland supports summer grazing and traditional farm life remains central to the local identity. Eriz is a place to encounter the quieter, working side of mountain Switzerland. Explore related webcams around the Bernese Oberland to form a fuller impression of this Alpine region.

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.
