The journey is more than the sum of its places

The Grand Journey is the only itinerary where several signature motifs naturally overlap with the other Journeys. The point, however, is not to tick off every possible attraction. It is a route from the more intimate landscape around Balm to the greatest icons of the Bernese Alps — with enough space to understand the difference between them.
