Interlaken Travel Guide – 10 Experiences YOU MUST DO in 2024

Interlaken Travel Guide – 10 Experiences YOU MUST DO in 2024

Hey guys we’re Ian and Anna and for the past 30 days we’ve been road tripping Switzerland in our van in today’s video we’re so excited to share with you the top 10 things to do in one of our favorite towns interlockin let’s start with number 10 harder com also known as

The top of inter locken this Overlook gives you the most breathtaking views of the entire region at the top you see Lake Brien Lake tun and the iconic Iger Monk and Yung fra mountain peaks to get here you can park at the interlock and O train station and head on the

100-year-old bicular all the way up to interlock and’s tallest mountain harder comb at the top you can have traditional Swiss dishes at the Panorama restaurant which is super cool right on the edge of the mountain you can even walk out on the two Lakes bridge for the best view

And what’s interesting is that the two Lakes Below have different shades of blue you have the bright turqu qu Water of Lake Brien on the left and the Deep Blue Water of Lake tun on the right from harder K you can go on one of Switzerland’s most iconic Heights the

Harder gr Trail this 15mi hike will take you along the most spectacular ridgel line above Lake Brien it’s a really tough hike with 3,000 M of incline and dangerous drop offs which lead to several deaths every year so please be careful we really wanted to hike to some

Of the ridg Line to See The View but it sadly started raining so we turn back one day we want to come back here when it’s not rainy or windy and take on this Beast of a hike next up is number nine grindal fierst the fierst is a mountain

Above one of the most beautiful Swiss Villages called grindal if you’re a family with adventurous kids and want to go somewhere with a little bit of everything this is the spot for you from Interlocken you can take a 35-minute train ride to grald and then take the

Gondola 25 minutes up to grindal Fier at the top there’s paragliding zip lines Mountain cards and even a cliff lock that will get your heart racing we actually went up to the fierce for one of the most breathtaking Alpine lakes in Switzerland called bepsy Lake to reach

The lake it only took 1 hour and was super easy so it’s great for everyone we didn’t get so lucky with weather because there were clouds but it was still super cool seeing the snow covered mountains in June usually the views are much better than what you’re seeing so make

Sure you go on a sunny day next we headed down to the cliffwalk and this ended up being better than expected the weather cleared up a bit so the views were getting more amazing around every corner there’s a beautiful Viewpoint right at the edge but the line was way

Too long so we opted out but one of my favorite things to do before we went back down was watch the paragliders run off the mountain towards the iconic Iger North Face and the rest of the Alpine peaks of the young fra region up next is

Number eight ocean and sea Lake only a 50-minute drive away from Interlocken lies the most beautiful Alpine Lake in all of Switzerland ocean and lake is surrounded by Massive snow covered Peaks and in summer they melt into waterfalls that fill up the bright blue Lake below after driving here you have two options

Either head on a cable car to the top or hike from for 1 hour up to the lake the cable car is $36 for a roundtrip ticket or $18 with the Swiss half card I will make sure to link the Swiss half card below this video and you should really

Get it if you’re traveling Switzerland longer than 4 days because you get 50% off all Transportation like gondolas trains and boats throughout all of Switzerland we decided to hike up and it was a bit tough because of the incline but 100% worth it during the hike you were surrounded by breathtaking

Mountains with more waterfalls than you can count and after 1 hour we arrived at this Alpine Lake and it did not disappoint although it was cloudy we couldn’t believe how massive the Peaks were surrounding these Blue Waters and after a quick beer and pretzels at the

Lodge we decided to hike up another mile and a half to the back side of Lake where you can find these really cool Shalla with an unbelievable view we saw tons of mountain goats and the view just kept getting better and better the more we left the crowded areas behind now on

To number seven paragliding over Interlocken paragliding in Switzerland is high on everyone’s bucket list and there’s no better place to do it than an interlockin the cool thing about paragliding is that you can can do it year round so I bet winter is just as magical the price is steep at around

$210 per person for only about 20 minutes but we still think it was worth it you’ll get picked up an interlock in and drive 20 minutes high up in the mountain after getting your safety speech you start strapping into your pilot on the side of a hill once you’re

In the air it’s a very calm ride with stunning 360° views your pilot will ask if you want to go wild and of course we said yes suddenly the pilot starts twisting and turning and it felt like a crazy roller coaster this really made

The ride so much more fun but we met a group of college kids and let’s just say they had a little too much to drink the night before and they threw up spinning in the air what’s funny is that this is actually very common so the pilots

Usually have a doggy bag with them that you can puke in which is kind of funny one of my favorite Parts was passing right over the city center of interlock and watching the bright blue River rushing right below your legs the entire experience from start to finish was only

An hour and a half with 20 minutes of flight so you still have plenty of your day left to explore make sure to book a sunny day with low winds we got unlucky with clouds rolling in in high winds but we did get lucky because they actually

Had to cancel the flights after us so we were just happy we got to go at all next up is number six the top of Europe young FR Yak also known as the top of Europe is not the highest mountain in Europe although it is genius marketing by Switzerland’s tourism board this year

Round Mountain destination gets the nickname top of Europe because it’s the highest train station in Europe at 3,454 M which is still really impressive immediately when you enter Switzerland this experience will be pushed to you by all tourque companies and tons of billboards as a must do with this

Marketing brings massive crowds no matter what time of year so the best thing you could do is go as early as possible one huge tip for swissland before you go on any hike or book any experience is to look at the live webcams at the top of these mountains we

Use these cams every single day because what you see on the ground level can be totally different than at the top of the mountain to get to at the top there are three different routes you can go but the fastest starts in grindal first we took a 30-minute train from interlock

And O to grindal terminal next we took the first Iger Express cable car at 8: a.m. sharp for 15 minutes up to Iger Glacier and then finally hopped on the young froud train 26 minutes all the way to the top of Europe the total time for

Us was around an hour and a half and the ticket price per person was $250 which was the most expensive experience we did while in Switzerland and a little crazy of a price if you ask me sadly when we checked the live cams in the morning everything was clear but after getting

To the top this is what we saw the mountain was covered in clouds the entire time we were up there now on a sunny day this is what it’s supposed to look like we’ve heard it has spectacular 360° views especially of the alch glacier which is the largest glacier in

The Alps spanning 23 km or 14 M long for the amount of money we paid the clouds were super disappointing but something you have to get used to when traveling in Switzerland because some days you will be unlucky with the weather fortunately there was a lot more to do

At the top like walk through the ice palace which is a network of ice tunnels running right underneath the glacier kids would absolutely love this place especially with all the different ice sculptures around another reason to visit the top of Europe is because there’s snow up here 365 days a year and

That will be special for those of you that have never experienced snow in your life we actually walked out to the glacier Plateau to have a snowball flight and take some amazing photos there’s also something called the snow fun park that is open from miday to Mid

October here you can go skiing sledding snow tubing and even Z line above a glacier of course all this will be extra money though so it can turn into an even more expensive day so watch out and lastly you can’t leave the top of Europe without getting some famous Swiss

Chocolate from lint there’s a lint chocolate shop up here where you can find every flavor possible which really makes for a great ending to your time up at Young FR Yak now let’s move on to number five mountain towns only a 30-minute drive away from inchan above

The breath taking fairy tale town of LA brunin are some of the most beautiful mountain towns in the world our favorites were Merin gimal and vangan minin is actually the starting point to the scariest hike in Europe that we’ll talk about later but getting up to these towns is an experience within itself

With insane views all around you either on a cable car or Cog wheeel train what blew my mind is people were bringing their suitcases up to stay and hotels or Chalet at the top of these mountains we didn’t stay up there because we had our van of course but I would recommend it

Since the views were some of the best we saw throughout our 30 days in Switzerland you can also get a amazing Swiss fondue up there and some of the best beer you will have in your life Ian was obsessed we have not visited Germany yet but the beer in Switzerland was by

Far our favorite beer out of any country in Europe so far if you are a beer person you need to try the appenzeller beers they were awesome coming up number four grindal canyon swing interlockin is the adventure sports capital of the world and I can tell you right now it

Lives up to the hype 30 minutes away from Interlocken is one of the craziest experiences you can have in your life the grindal canyon swing is a 300t drop where you swing between narrow Canyons it feels like you’re going to hit them and you’re right above a raging River

When we first got there we couldn’t believe how Wild the entire setup looked but the tour guides let us know that no one has ever died doing it which was great news this canyon swing was $143 per person but I can guarantee the feeling you get from the top will be

Nothing you have ever experienced before in your life I 100% recommend it to anyone From The Bottom the tour guides take you to the top in a van and then you go on a brief hike until you reach the edge nothing is more terrifying than having to wait your turn while you watch

Everyone else jump into the abyss but once you finally get to jump your body goes into complete chock and it feels like you are falling forever but really after only a 5-second free frall from 90 M you swing through the canyon with the biggest smile on your face let’s move on

To number three Lake Brien the word interlockin literally means between two Lakes because it sits right between Lake tun and Lake Brien in my opinion the more magical of the two Lakes is Lake Brien because of the color of the water it has bright turquoise water that is

Surrounded by massive mountains on all sides making it one of the most picturesque places in Switzerland we stayed at an amazing Campsite in inen with our van and one of our favorite routines was walking on the trails along the lake stopping at all these different viewpoints now Switzerland has some of

The best free picnic areas where they provide you with firewood and a fire pit so you can cook out we met some locals at one of the picnic spots and he taught us how to make a lifechanging dessert first you put a banana over the fire and

Once it pops open you put chocolate on top which ends up melting in the most delicious snack throughout our time in Interlocken we saw tons of people boating paddle boarding and swimming all around the lake so there is tons to do another fun thing we did in Lake Brion

Is pull up our van to a Scenic pull out there’s so many of them and we made dinner one night it’s amazing to swim right from your van and be able to take in those views for free next up is number two lots of brunin the fairy tale

Town of La brunin is one of those places that everyone should see in their lifetime nothing beats the magical noise of 72 waterfalls pouring down the 1,000 ft rock walls of this Valley there are many viewpoints but our favorite one had to be a 2-minute walk from the parking

Lot because you are able to see the church and Switzerland’s highest Free Falling waterfall all while seeing the entire Valley which was spectacular this will be a very quick stop because loud brunin is a small town that you can walk in 10 minutes and lastly we have number

One minin via fata right above the Fairytail town of L brunin is by far the scariest thing we’ve done in our lives after taking two cable cars to Muran you can rent your gear for $30 per person and go on this crazy vfat without a guide sadly someone did fall to their

Death 2 days after filming this video so if it’s your first time doing a Vata I highly recommend hiring a tour guide from interport where we rented our gear if you don’t know what a via fata is it’s like an obstacle course on the side of a mountain you’ll go on tight ropes

Suspension bridges and crazy steps on the side of a 1000t vertical rock wall this was the biggest adrenaline rush we have ever had and we’ve been skydiving bungee jumping swimming with sharks and Canyon swinging during this 3-hour hike there were a couple times where it actually felt like we were going to die

The whole time you’ll have to use your two clips to unhook and hook back to the steel cable line we had to unhook and hook about 150 times so you kind of take it slow throughout this whole hike physically it’s not the hardest hike but definitely the most mentally challenging

And if you’re afraid of heights then you might poop your pants and go into complete shock because this is crazy if you do end up going please be careful and hire a tour guide remember your life is way more important than getting shots like this don’t try to copycat me I am

Definitely an Idiot just flames in the fire and through the night the burn like me for come
