Went on a roadtrip in Berner Oberland with @VWSwit Went on a roadtrip in Berner Oberland with @VWSwitzerland 🤩 

We started in Zug where we took the electric eBulli (ID. Buzz GTX) which is btw perfecttt for friends roadtrip vibe 🚌

And drove all the way through the emmental up to the bernese oberland. We passed by Lake Brienz, Lake Thun, Beatus Falls and stopped at Bretterhotel Trauffer to carve some of these famous little wooden cows 🐮 the view was epic and honestly, the all-wheel drive handled the mountain passes so smoothly.

Tips For Your Trip & Places to Visit:
- Lake Thun & Lake Brienz for a refreshing swim
- Visit Thun or Spiez: quaint towns for leisure explorations
- Beatus Caves: if you look for a spot that looks like it was taken from a fantasy book with its magical caves and stunning waterfall
- Eat at Parkhotel Gunten, trust me on that one, the view is insane and the food was extremely good.
- If you’re with kids, I can recommend the Bretterhotel Trauffer, its an adorable hotel with a museum and you can also do there wood curving and curve your own adorable little cow.
- There are also a good amount of waterfalls in the area like the famous Reichenbachfall from Sherlock Holmes
Feel free to let me know if there is anything else I missed!
