The Swiss meteorological service, MeteoSwiss, publishes a 5-day forecast which provides a general view of weather trends. The broadcast daily weather report is, of course, more helpful, and a local weather bulletin is usually posted in the window of tourist offices and mountain guides’ bureaux. For an internet report in English, visit www.meteoswiss.ch/en – this gives a daily forecast as well as a five-day prediction. Current weather conditions throughout Switzerland can be checked on www.MySwitzerland.com.

Notes for Walkers

The majority of walks described in this guide have been chosen with a particular viewpoint, lake, alp hamlet, hut or pass as the destination, while the principal objective is to enjoy a day’s exercise among some of the most uplifting scenery in all the Alps. There’s something here to meet the needs of every walker, at every level of experience and ambition. But in order to gain the most from an active walking holiday in the Bernese Oberland, one needs to be in reasonably good physical condition on arrival.
