BRIENZ TO SARNEN Driving around Bernese Highlands in Beautiful Switzerland

Surrounded by stunning mountain scenery and the beautiful lake with the same name, Sarnen is the perfect holiday destination. Lake Sarnen occupies 7.5 square kilometers in the beautiful landscape between Sarnen (a major town in the region of Obwald) and the ascent to the Brünig Pass. At the end of the last Ice Age, Lake Sarnen was contiguous with Lake Lucerne, in the valley, which had been sculpted by glaciers. In the meantime, alluvial deposits enabled fan deltas to grow, leading to the creation of the independent Lake Sarnen. The three Obwald communities of Sarnen, Sachseln and Giswil are situated on the shores of the lake
