Nearing the top of a peaceful and serene hike above Interlaken in the Bernese Alps, animal footprints of the 4 legged kind are spotted in the snow. Peak over the mountain top and you will see the Jungfrau mountain range, of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau peaks.

The backbone of the Bernese Alps is a 100 km long chain running from west (Dent de Morcles) to east (Sidelhorn) along the border between the cantons of Berne (north) and Valais (south).
