Details
Interlaken, nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz and surrounded by the mighty Alps, is often considered the adventure capital of Switzerland. A half-day tour here allows you to soak in some of its stunning scenery and unique town charm without committing to a full-day mountain excursion or adrenaline-pumping activity.
- Discover Unterseen & Aare River
- Activity: Cross the Aare River from Höhematte towards the charming district of Unterseen. This is the older, more traditional part of Interlaken, contrasting with the more modern main street.
- Highlights: Wander through its quaint streets, admire the traditional Swiss chalets, historic buildings, and peaceful squares. The Aare River itself is a striking turquoise color, originating from the glaciers, and offers beautiful photo opportunities along its banks. Look for the old wooden houses and local shops.
- Optional: If time allows and you're interested in local history, a quick visit to the Interlaken Monastery and Castle (Interlaken Schloss) near the Aare River can be added.
Stroll through Höhematte Park
- Activity: Once back in the town, walk towards the vast green expanse of Höhematte Park, located in the very center of Interlaken. This is the town's central meadow.
- Highlights: This open space famously serves as the landing zone for paragliders, offering a spectacular sight as they gently descend with the Alps as a backdrop. You'll also see the historic Casino Interlaken building on one side, adding to the picturesque scenery.
- Photography Tip: This park offers fantastic long-range views of the Jungfrau mountain range, making it a prime spot for classic Interlaken photos.
