“Where tradition meets modernity, with many lovingly crafted details. Definitely worth seeing.”
Brienzwiler
The small village of Brienzwiler with about 500 inhabitants is located in the Bernese Oberland. It is located at the foot of the Wilerhorn on a hill above Lake Brienz. Historic wooden houses are still preserved in the village. The view from here goes to the Brienzer Rothorn and the Wilerhorn over Brünig to the Haslital. The settlement of Amhof, which lies further down in the Aare valley under a steep cliff, also belongs to Brienzwiler. The Ballenberg with the largest open-air museum in Switzerland is the most important sight in Brienzwiler. More than a hundred original historic buildings from all parts of Switzerland are on display here.

“Great to enjoy with family when the weather is nice, it’s even better! A proper walk and plenty of fresh air. Just make sure to plan more than an afternoon if you want to do everything or come back.”
“Wonderful experience! The chocolate shoppe is worth a visit on its own, but the class tops it off. Our instructor was informative, sweet and fun, and the intimate setting made it easy to meet new people, learn new things and bring home delicious chocolate. A very fun hour and a half — highly recommend!”
