This day tour begins with a guided tour of the power station in Innertkirchen. Our Guided Tour guides will show you the impressive underground Power plants and explain how the electricity for over a million people is generated here.
For lunch, you can choose from various restaurants in Innertkirchen.
(Please make your own reservation)
After lunch, you are on your own and can complete the afternoon program independently.
On the digestive walk, you reach the Aare Gorge, where the power of the water has created a unique backdrop.
Finally, after another short hike, take the Reichenbachfall-Bahn up to the waterfall. This is where the famous detective Sherlock Holmes challenged his arch-enemy Professor Moriarty to a fight – the fierce scuffle ended with a fall into the depths. Into this very waterfall!
