The Aare Gorge (Aareschlucht) is one of Switzerland's most impressive natural attractions and makes a fantastic day trip from Luzern. Your journey begins aboard the famous Luzern-Interlaken Express, travelling through spectacular mountain scenery to Meiringen in the Bernese Oberland.
Carved by the Aare River over thousands of years, the gorge stretches for almost 1.5 kilometres through towering limestone cliffs. At its narrowest point, the canyon is just one metre wide, while safe walkways and tunnels built into the rock allow visitors to experience this natural wonder up close.
The combination of a scenic rail journey and one of Switzerland's most dramatic landscapes makes this excursion ideal for nature lovers, families and anyone looking to explore beyond Luzern. After visiting the gorge, return at your leisure via the picturesque Brünig Line.
