At Sigriswil, the excitement comes early: an open view down into the Gumischlucht as you step onto the suspension bridge. The 340-metre crossing links Sigriswil with Aeschlen, with Lake Thun and the mountains beyond when the sky is clear. There is room to make this a small outing, with a village wander afterwards. If the gorge path appeals too, allow for a separate walk down and back up; it adds a different level of effort.
What to look forward to
- The crossing between Sigriswil and Aeschlen
- Lake Thun views when the clouds lift
- Time to wander around the villages
Before you go
Consider how you feel about heights before crossing. Admission is paid, with payment on site; the official ticket page explains current terms. Check operator notices and weather before travelling, and keep the steep gorge walk separate from the bridge itself.
