The most beautiful gorge in Switzerland, the circular path through the gorge can only be accessed from below - please put some money in the cash box, as maintenance costs 20,000 francs per year. You should not be afraid of heights. Be sure to make a detour to the Trummer family's wood carving workshop.

The 100 meter long Choleren Gorge is small but mighty. Well-developed bridges and stairs lead up the gorge. The gorge can be crossed in about 15 minutes, it is a one-lane walk from bottom to top.

The Choleren Gorge near Adelboden is a short but impressive natural spot in the Bernese Oberland 🤩. A well-constructed walkway leads deep into the narrow, water-carved gorge – wooden walkways, steps, and small bridges bring you right up close to the rushing water 💦.

Stairs and bridges over roaring waterfalls and mills: this route shows you the full power of the Engstlige. The impressive gorge can be reached after just a quarter of an hour from the starting point Tregel, and after the gorge and a detour to the Pochtenkessel, you are back at the starting point just as quickly.
