Nestled between the crystal-clear waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, and surrounded by the towering peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, Interlaken is the heart of Swiss adventure. This charming town feels like the gateway to heaven—serene yet thrilling, traditional yet modern.
When I arrived, I was immediately struck by the panoramic alpine beauty. The town itself is walkable and charming, with chalet-style buildings, blooming flower beds, and friendly faces. But Interlaken is more than just a pretty face—it’s a paradise for nature lovers and thrill seekers alike.
I started my day with a ride on the Harder Kulm funicular. In just 10 minutes, I was gazing out over all of Interlaken, with the lakes glimmering below and snow-capped mountains rising in every direction. The view was so surreal, I nearly forgot to take photos.
Then came adventure—paragliding over Interlaken was easily the highlight of my trip. Soaring through the sky with the Alps beneath me was pure freedom. For those who prefer staying grounded, kayaking on Lake Brienz or taking the scenic Jungfrau Railway to Europe’s highest railway station is equally magical.
Interlaken is also a great base for day trips to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, and Wengen, where waterfalls, alpine meadows, and traditional Swiss life await.
