Rosenlaui Gorge-ous

Posted by Justin

Amazingly, the Swiss have created systems that allow folks of all ages to access nature’s beauty. Case in point, Rosenlaui Gorge high above the town of Meiringen in the Haslital region of the Berner Oberland. Granted, the drive up there is crazy with it’s limited-width, slightly bigger than a one-lane road carrying pedestrians, bycyclists and—shockingly—a local transit bus, which blows its horn in warning as it approaches blind curves. But if you’re willing to make the drive, you are rewarded with a short hike through a canyon carved out by glacial outflow over the years. It’s a one-way loop that takes you less than an hour to complete. At the bottom, you can even partake of a fine dining outdoor meal at the Hotel Rosenlaui restaraunt.
