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.

“I loved the canyon swing. It felt like a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. The team were friendly and helpful, kept me calm when I started to panic, and gave me a little push to finally get off. Thank you.”
“No doubt, this was the most incredible and wonderful experience I have ever had. Anyone visiting Grindelwald should definitely give it a try.”
“Lucas was a great guide. The activity is so fun - you need a lot of nerve and absolutely cannot be afraid of heights. Bring water. Highly recommend.”
“Quality day with valentine and airtime paragliding. Couldn’t have made my 30th any more special.”
“Amazing activity for the whole family.”
“I decided to do this after seeing the paragliders land in Interlaken, and i was on my first solo trip so thought why not! I was nervous beforehand, but my pilot, Robin, put me at ease and was very kind. It’s actually a peaceful experience (we did do one fun trick which i loved, and you can ask for more if you want a thrill), and the views are incredible. We flew for quite a long time due to the thermals. I recommend to anyone :) no experience needed!”
