Interlaken
Your getaway to Interlaken
Interlaken gives you a little of everything, and it all fits together easily. Ride the funicular up Harder Kulm for the view that explains the whole town at once, two lakes, one river, mountains everywhere. Spend a slow morning on Lake Brienz by boat, hopping off at the Giessbach Falls for the spray and the terrace. Lunch on rösti or fondue at a terrace on Höheweg, watching paragliders land on the meadow. Afternoon is for wandering Unterseen's old lanes across the river, quiet, pretty, and unhurried. If the mood strikes, Lauterbrunnen's waterfall valley is twenty minutes away by train. The Höhematte at sunset needs no plan at all, just a bench and some ice cream. One big excursion, one gentle wander, one great meal: the rhythm writes itself. Nothing here is extreme unless you want it to be. It is simply a beautiful place that makes deciding easy.
