Touring Route 1: Connoisseur Tour

224.36 km long
Round trip
Great panorama
Car
This tour is made for connoisseurs.

For refreshment on the way and further moments of indulgence at home, we recommend making a first stop in Sachseln to stock up on local specialties "Guets us Obwalde" at the Bio Familia factory shop. After the Brünig Pass, the next highlight follows with the open-air museum Ballenberg. On a walk through the centuries, you can discover over 100 original buildings, traditional crafts, and much more. Along Lake Brienz and Lake Thun, the journey itself becomes a culinary experience. And enjoying remains the motto for the second half of the tour as well: for example, on the ride through the graceful hilly landscape of the Emmental, during a visit to "Kambly Erlebnis" or a stopover at the Tropenhaus Wolhusen.

Highlights on the route:
- Car-free holiday village Melchsee-Frutt
- "Guets us Obwalde" at Bio Familia, Sachseln
- Alpine cheese dairy and little inn Fluonalp, Giswil

- Emmental show cheese dairy, Affoltern in Emmental
