At 2350 meters above sea level, the sun can be enjoyed particularly well. Guests who whisper the phrase “Berghaus Oberaar sun terrace” as an insider tip know this. Here you can get up close and personal with the ice of the glaciers, look down on the masses of water of the reservoir from above, move in the illustrious circle of the upper four thousand – around the very highest Bernese and Valais mountain peaks.  

The Unesco World Heritage Site sends its regards and provides the sublime backdrop for leisurely hikes or challenging mountain tours. The uniquely situated restaurant and Berghaus Oberaar is the ideal starting point. With cozy rooms, traditional cuisine and a panoramic terrace that boasts more hours of sunshine than almost any other place.
