What to expect
The Crystal Trail in Guttannen, Switzerland, is a scenic hike that takes you through a mineral-rich terrain, alongside the Räterichsboden Lake and the Aare river, across historic bridges, past steep granite cliffs, and through blooming alpine meadows. The trail is also home to the famous crystal deposits of the Grimsel massif, which have been mined for centuries. Visitors can explore the unique crystal cosmos of Guttannen at the kriSTALL experience, where they can discover the fascinating world of crystals and the history of crystal mining in the region

A Family Break in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland
Activities: We hiked the Crystal Trail, part of the old Sbrinz Route for transporting salt, wine and cheese. We walked past the on-site cheesemaker and through alpine meadows to a 'crystal cavern' where Ethan hand-cranked electricity to view the crystals
Highlights: Ethan loved the crystal cavern and hand-cranking the electricity. We enjoyed the beautiful alpine meadows and the views of the mountains ✨
