After visiting Oeschinen Lake<\/a>, we drove through Interlaken and continued to the Aare Gorge (Aareschlucht in German). Since we lived in Utah for a while, we\u2019re familiar with the concept of slot canyons, but usually the canyon walls are a hue of red\/orange sandstone like in the Narrows<\/a>, Zebra Canyon<\/a>, or Antelope Canyon<\/a>. Martina suggested this as a quick stop along our way back to Zurich, and it was a really neat experience to go from sweeping mountain vistas<\/a> to narrow, dark slot canyons in the matter of an hour.<\/p>\n

The gorge was created over thousands of years as the Aare River eroded a path through the hard limestone formation. The gorge is currently over 1300 feet long, and 650 feet deep. This gorge has been accessible for over 100 years by a system of safe paths and tunnels.<\/p>\n

Visiting the Aare Gorge<\/b><\/h3>\n

A visit to the gorge is very affordable at just 9 CHF (currently) per adult. It takes about an hour to walk up\/down the gorge (Hike 20\/52). You can also purchase a ticket to the train that takes you to the other side, so you can land back at your car in the parking lot. Many people also combine a trip to the gorge with Reichenbach Falls that\u2019s nearby.<\/p>\n
