“Great. We thought we would spend 1.5 to 2 hours with my 4-year-old daughter, but we ended up staying all afternoon.”
Broc
Broc is best known for the Maison Cailler chocolate factory, which was established here at the end of the 19th century. The village is situated on a high terrace at the foot of the Dent de Broc. To the north are Lake Gruyère and Lac de Montsalvens. The Jaunbach Gorge can be visited by families from Broc to the imposing dam of Montsalvens in an easy hike. It is the first dam in Europe to be built with a double arch dam (vertical and horizontal). The structure is 52 m high and 110 m long.

“Very informative and asy to follow along with the headsets”
“A very friendly, knowledgeable lady who guided us through Thun.”
“Really good and interesting course. The parking is free, but add an extra 5 minutes for walking...”
“We really enjoyed the city tour. Even as "almost locals," we learned a lot of new things. Ms Kocher was very knowledgeable and took us on an exciting journey.”
“On our innkeeper’s recommendation, we booked the 07:40 cable car from Mürren to the Schilthorn, as well as an 08:00 brunch reservation at Piz Gloria. The views were breathtaking, and the brunch buffet offered plenty of choice. We had 90 minutes at our table, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy the changing scenery from the revolving restaurant. We also explored the other viewing areas and enjoyed the James Bond film memorabilia. Our next stop was Birg, where we took in the Skyline View and watched the more adventurous visitors tackle the Thrill Walk. Our final stop was Mürren, before we walked back to Gimmelwald. It was a great alternative and less expensive than the Jungfrau experience.”
