The beautiful lakes of Interlaken

The Most Incredible Ways to Experience the Beautiful Lakes of Interlaken, Switzerland

Published on: 28/09/201526/03/2021 by Nic Hilditch-Short 9 Comments

Interlaken…it gets it’s name from well, being literally surrounded by lakes and water! Lake Breinz and Lake Thun which sit either side of the town are not only some of the most stunning in Switzerland but in the entire world. No wonder they named the town in acknowledgement of these lakes! Here’s a guide to

Switzerland, one of the most amazingly beautiful countries in the world, after longing to visit for many years, between us we have been lucky enough to visit three time this year! OK, so it might be a little on the expensive side that’s true, but for once in a lifetime views like this you occasionally

We recently took what could be described at the trip of a lifetime to interlaken (and would be if we didn’t plan on making a lifetime of these trips!) We ticked so much off our bucket list in just one week that we lost count, not just every day but every minute of ever hour

Whilst having the most amazing and adventurous trip possible in Interlaken, Switzerland we decided to change the pace a little and head up a huge mountain!! This time instead of clinging to the side of a cliff or even launching ourselves off it we would take the cable car, because when you visit the Swiss

Trümmelbach falls, The amazing power of nature on a budget! Switzerland

Published on: 14/09/201524/03/2016 by Nic Hilditch-Short 9 Comments

Trümmelbach falls are an impressive and somewhat scary display of the power of nature buried within a deep system of caves and tunnels in the side of the lauterbrunnen valley in the Swiss Alps. The sheer volume of water which pour down these impressive waterfalls roars louder than you could imagine as it continues to

Harder Kulm is a mountain of 4,337 ft which overlooks the amazing Swiss town of Interlaken. Despite being dwarfed by the several 10,000ft peaks which surround the town it still offers be best views of Interlaken (unless of course you go Paragliding!) and is also one of very few cheap excursions in what is a

“Via Ferrata” or The Iron Way in English is an extreme hike which takes you to places only experienced alpine mountaineers would ever be able to find themselves. Perched 2000ft above the stunning Lauterbrunnen valley below and stood on only staples this was the true alpine adventure I had always dreamt of. No guides or  chaperones we set off on

White Water Rafting, it had been on our bucket list for some time, but in all honesty as much as we wanted to give it a try we didn’t really know what to expect. We thought that maybe being on such a big raft it would be fun but a little tame, so with that

 Canyoning… we love it! Jumping off cliffs into rivers, sliding down the most amazing natural slides or rappelling down immense waterfalls, it’s something we can’t get enough of. But where do fans of canyoning head to, Chli Schliere of course! Ever since our first taste of canyoning we have had this amazing place on our bucket

When visiting the amazingly beautiful city of Lucerne one of the absolute must do’s is the “Golden Round Trip”.

Travelling by train in Switzerland as you can imagine is quite a straight forward and pleasant experience. The trains run on time and booking a ticket is painless…apart from the fares! Switzerland is also an expensive county and you might be forgiven for giving up that idea of jumping on a train to the mountains
