The BerneseOberland is that part of the Swiss Alps lying between Lake Geneva and the River Reuss; it rises above the 4,000 m/13,124ft mark in the Finsteraarhorn (4,274 m/14,023ft), the Aletschhorn (4,195 m/13,764ft), the Schreckhorn (4,078 m/13,380ft), the Mönch (4,099 m/13,449ft) and the Jungfrau (4,158 m/13,642ft).
The regions bordering the BerneseOberland have a long history of human settlement, as is shown by the Stone Age and Bronze Age material and the Roman remains which have been found by excavation, as well as by churches dating from before the year 1000.
Today the BerneseOberland, with its magnificent scenery and its excellent and steadily expanding facilities for winter sports, is perhaps still the best-known holiday region in Switzerland and it is not without good reason that it is often described as "The playground of Europe".
