Oh fun, there wasn’t enough snow for me to sled, but that sounds like a great day.

Oh yeah, can’t believe it James because it really is one of my personal faves in Switzerland.

Looks wonderful to me. I lived in Switzerland for six months and I can’t believe I never made it to Interlaken! A good enough reason for a return visit.

[...] Switzerland is covered with these adorable wooden benches along the mountain hiking paths, ample encouragement for you to sit and relax and enjoy the view. They’re comfortable enough and perfect for picnics or just some quite time for reflection. Tip: check out our recommended hiking trails in Interlaken. [...]

We were there in 2002 for some snowboarding. While the boarding wasn’t all that memorable, it was the towns and food that we remember well. It looks beautiful in the summer.
I remember that gondola ride, I have some old video footage where we timed it. It was a pretty long ride.

I visited Interlaken this summer, and absolutely loved it. One of my favorite attractions was the ropes course run by Outdoor Interlaken. It’s not too expensive, and it’s a fun way to spend an afternoon outside. Not too far of a walk from the city center, and guaranteed fun for all ages (as long as you don’t mind heights!) I hope to go back and do more hiking and see more waterfalls–it is such a beautiful place!

I spent quite a bit of time in Interlaken a couple of years ago and really liked it. The hiking opportunities are awesome and it is a great hopping-off point for all the wonderful little towns up in the alps. And I can personally attest that My Little Thai is absolutely the best restaurant in town!

We visited Interlaken in November, 2000 and loved the region. We took the train up to Jungfraujoch, but then got off at the first or second stop on the way down. After eating a great meal outside, we bought some simple sleds, spent the afternoon sledding and then gave them to some women who ran a kindergarten before taking the train down to Grindelwald. A great day.

Yes, Interlaken is touristy. But, it is truly beautiful.
