About Gole di Aare

Gole di Aare - Meiringen | Secret World Trip Planner

La gola dell’ Aare si trova tra Meiringen e Innertkirchen, é lunga ca. 1’400 m e profonda 200 m con una larghezza a volte da 1 a 2 m. Il punto più largo misura 40 metri, mentre quello più stretto soltanto un metro. L’escursione al crepuscolo è un’esperienza particolare: in luglio e agosto, da venerdì a sabato la gola dell’Aare è aperta e illuminata fino alle 22 (entrata solo all’ingresso ovest!). Si trova nella valle dell’Hasli incastonata tra i passi alpini di Brünig, Grimsel e Susten. Grazie alla forza dell’acqua e del vento nel corso dei millenni si é formato questo spettacolare canyon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gole di Aare is a spectacular canyon located between Meiringen and Innertkirchen in Switzerland's Hasli valley, stretching approximately 1,400 meters long and 200 meters deep. The gorge's width varies dramatically, ranging from just 1-2 meters at its narrowest point to 40 meters at its widest section.
The Gole di Aare offers special twilight visits with lighting from Friday to Saturday evenings in July and August, staying open until 10 PM. For these illuminated evening experiences, you must enter exclusively through the western entrance.
This dramatic canyon was carved over millennia by the powerful force of water and wind, creating the spectacular natural gorge you see today. The geological process demonstrates the incredible sculpting power of nature in this Alpine region.
Gole di Aare is nestled in the Hasli valley and lies conveniently between three major Alpine passes: Brünig, Grimsel, and Susten. This strategic location makes it an excellent addition to an Alpine touring itinerary.
While the gorge is accessible year-round, the special evening illuminated experience runs only from Friday to Saturday in July and August, making these months particularly recommended for a unique visit. However, the dramatic canyon can be explored during other seasons when the western entrance is available during regular hours.
