Audio Guide of Panoramic Hiking Trail

The trail is open year-round with no time restrictions, as it is an outdoor route. It starts from the village center (market square), following the yellow hiking signs. You can check the full trail map on the official tourism website.

Access to the panoramic trail is completely free. No tickets or reservations are required, although if you use public transport to get there (train or bus), you must pay your fare. Check transport prices on SBB CFF FFS.

The main route is about 6 km and can be completed in 2 to 2.5 hours at a relaxed walking pace. If you stop for photos or a picnic, allow half a day. Shorter versions are available by connecting with cable car or bus.

This region is at the heart of traditional Alpine culture, famous for its Balloon Festival (February) and typical Bernese architecture. The route reveals how shepherds and cheesemakers keep this heritage alive. You will see centuries-old chalets still in use.

From May to October, conditions are ideal, with mild temperatures (10°-25°C) and dry trails. In winter (December-March), the route becomes a snowshoe trail. Avoid April and November because of possible rain or mud.

Only short sections are accessible, such as the riverside walk. About 80% of the trail has steep slopes and dirt paths with stones. For accessible alternatives, contact the Tourist Office.

Do not miss: the Cheese Museum (15 minutes on foot), the cable car to La Montagne (views from 2,000 m), or the village of Rossinière with its painted houses (20 minutes by car). More ideas at Switzerland Tourism.

Trekking shoes, water (there are few fountains), sunscreen, and a camera. In summer, bring a hat; in spring and autumn, a light jacket. Download the offline map, as mobile coverage is patchy on some sections.
