Berne info
The canton of Berne is mainly drained by the River Aar and its tributaries. The area of the canton is commonly divided into three areas. The Bernese Oberland is the mountainous region which lies in the south of the canton. The most populated region is the Berner Mittelland on the hilly plateau north of the Alps, with the capital city. The northmost part of the canton, the Bernese Jura, lies south of the Canton of Jura. The area of the canton is 5959 km².
The whole area is in general very mountainous, with steep cliffs, many glaciers, and countless waterfalls. It is renowned for its scenic beauty and the charm of the small Swiss villages that dot the area. As a result of this, tourism is one of the main sources of income in the Bernese Oberland. Even when going over a remote pass one often finds a small farmhouse on the way up, or a mountain cabin willing to give accommodation and dinner to the passerby. Typically these sell the local cheeses and specialty products. The region also has an extensive train network as well as many cable cars and funiculars, with the highest train station in Europe, the Jungfraujoch, the longest funicular in Europe, the Niesen, and the longest gondola cableway in the world, the Männlichen.
