These are indeed big mountains with snow and ice-caked summits, but this book is concerned not with climbing mountains, not with reaching summits, but with wandering in their shadow; spending days of delight exploring valleys, ambling over hillsides clattering with cowbells and crossing remote passes in order to gain fresh valley systems. The Bernese Oberland is not short of prospects.

Getting There

By Air

While details in this section were correct at the time of writing, readers should be aware that information in regard to air travel is particularly vulnerable to change. Apart from complex fare structures, schedules are often rearranged at short notice, new routes introduced and abandoned, while the growth of cut-price, no-frills carriers often results in fledgling airlines being formed, merged, taken over or collapsing with alarming frequency. The best advice, therefore, is to check the current situation with either your local travel agent, the Switzerland Travel Centre (see Appendix A), or on the internet.
