UnTours in the Swiss Oberland

Settle into your Swiss Oberland home and soak in the breathtaking surroundings. Depending on your arrival time, you may meet your local UnGuide today or the following morning. They’ll offer tips, maps, and personalized recommendations to help you make the most of your visit to Switzerland. Unpack, take a leisurely stroll through your village, and perhaps enjoy a warm welcome at a local café. The next few days will be filled with stunning landscapes, seamless travel, and authentic Swiss experiences—perfect for crafting your ideal Swiss Oberland itinerary at your own pace.

Visit Switzerland and discover how its spectacular landscapes have drawn travelers for centuries. But how did the Alps become one of the world’s most famous destinations? Step into the past on an exclusive private tour of the Museum of Tourism, located in the charming old town of Unterseen, near Interlaken. This thoughtfully curated museum tells the fascinating 250-year story of Alpine tourism, from early explorers and pioneering mountaineers to the golden age of grand hotels and scenic railway journeys.

Led by the museum’s manager, this behind-the-scenes experience brings Swiss history to life. Explore beautifully preserved artifacts, vintage travel posters, and interactive displays that reveal how the Swiss Alps captured the imagination of travelers long before Instagram. This makes an ideal day trip addition to any Swiss itinerary, offering insight into the country’s rich cultural traditions—from yodeling and Alphorn music to flag throwing, Swiss wrestling, and the striking beauty of traditional costumes. With three floors of history to explore, this is more than just a museum—it’s a time capsule of Swiss heritage and the evolution of travel itself.

It’s time to immerse yourself in one of Switzerland’s most beloved traditions: yodeling. And who better to guide you than Urs, your UnGuide and a true Swiss legend? Urs isn’t just a local expert—he’s a passionate yodeler with deep roots in Swiss culture.

Originally used by Alpine herders to communicate across vast valleys, yodeling has evolved into a cherished form of music. During this hands-on workshop, Urs will introduce you to its unique rhythms and techniques, helping you find your own voice in this age-old tradition. Whether you’re a natural or just having fun trying, the experience is sure to bring smiles and laughter.

As your session winds down, you’ll continue the Swiss experience with a visit to a nearby bakery. Here, you’ll sample local treats—perhaps a warm Nusstorte (Swiss nut tart) or a flaky Gipfeli—offering a delicious way to round out your day.

Your UnTour includes one of the best offerings in the global tourism industry: the Swiss Rail Pass. This legendary pass grants you unlimited access to Switzerland’s world-class public transportation network, making it easy to hop from mountain peaks to vibrant cities—all with one simple ticket. It’s the perfect way to visit Switzerland and explore at your own pace.

Imagine gliding across the waters of Lake Thun or Lake Brienz on a scenic boat cruise, winding through alpine meadows by train, or taking a quick bus ride to explore a charming village. Whether you’re planning a relaxing day trip or crafting a multi-day itinerary, the Swiss Travel Pass takes the hassle out of travel, allowing you to focus on the journey itself.

With so much within easy reach, you might choose to explore nearby towns like Meiringen, Interlaken, and Brienz, where stunning lakes and waterfalls steal the show. Or venture to cultural hubs like Bern, Basel, and Zürich, where history, art, and lively café culture await. For breathtaking landscapes, take the train to Luzern, Geneva, or Lausanne, each offering a stunning mix of lakes, mountains, and Swiss charm. You can even design your own Tour of the Lakes or Tour of Swiss Cities, depending on your interests. No matter where your curiosity leads you, the journey is always smooth, scenic, and stress-free.

Switzerland’s mountain peaks are legendary, and thanks to your Swiss Travel Pass, reaching them is effortless. In addition to unlimited train, bus, and boat travel, your pass grants you up to 50% off cable cars, cogwheel trains, and funiculars—your ticket to the country’s most awe-inspiring vistas.

Consider ascending to the Schilthorn, where the revolving Piz Gloria restaurant offers 360-degree views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Or ride the world-famous Jungfraujoch railway, climbing to the Top of Europe, where snow-capped peaks stretch endlessly in every direction. Looking for a challenge? The trails of Mount Pilatus and Titlis combine thrilling hikes with rewarding panoramas. Wherever you go, the journey itself is part of the adventure—whether you’re floating above emerald valleys in a gondola or inching up steep mountain tracks on a historic cogwheel train.

Switzerland’s peaks are more than just scenic—they’re an invitation to slow down, breathe deep, and take it all in.

Perhaps one last morning stroll through the village, a final pastry from the local bakery, or simply a moment to take in the mountain air before you go. As your time in the Swiss Heartland comes to an end, your UnGuide will be available to see you off and ensure your transition to your next destination is seamless. The Swiss Heartland will stay with you long after you leave.
