Brig

Brig is located at 681 m above sea level on the south bank of the Rhône. Its old town features old patrician houses and has homely inns. The Stockalper Castle is one of the most important baroque palace buildings in Switzerland. The town is situated between the Valais and Bernese Alps. It is a good starting point for the trip to Italy over the Simplon Pass. The city is surrounded by mountains such as the Glishorn (2525 m above sea level), the Füllhorn (2736 m above sea level) and the Sparrhorn (3020 m above sea level). A few kilometers north of Brig is the Aletsch area with the largest glacier in the Alps. This area belongs to the UNESCO World Natural Heritage.

“For me, it was a very good guided tour, even though, as a long-time resident of Einsiedeln (Matura 1964), I already knew quite a lot. On today's visit, I brought along a young man from the neighbourhood who had never been to Einsiedeln before. It was an interesting experience for both of us.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first-ever paragliding experience in Interlaken, Switzerland, and it was absolutely amazing! 🇨🇭🪂 The views were breathtaking, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to my awesome pilot, Tinu, for making me feel safe and comfortable the entire time. He was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience so much fun! And of course, my “George Clooney look-alike” pilot 😂 Definitely one of the highlights of my Switzerland trip. I would 100% do it again! Danke schön, Tinu! ❤️”
