Are you ready for the Swiss summer hiking season? 🏃🏼♂️☀️
I can`t wait to put the hiking shoes back on! 🥾
Welcome to Oeschinensee, a pristine mountain lake situated at 1578m, fed by the glacial streams of the 3000m peaks of the Blüemlisalp, Oeschinenhorn, Fründenhorn & the Doldenhorn 🏔
In Summer, a paradise for hiking and swimming, and in my opinion, one of the most beautiful alpine lakes in the whole of Switzerland 🏊🏻♂️🇨🇭

🚞 Taking the Wrong Route to Interlaken?
If you’re traveling from Zurich, skip the Bern route—it’s faster but far less scenic! Take the Lucerne Interlaken Express instead. 🏔️
🌟 Stunning mountain views, turquoise lakes, and authentic villages make it worth the extra time. Pro tip: Sit on the right side of the train for the best views! 🎥✨

Fondue is a must-try when visiting Switzerland! If you’re unfamiliar with it, let’s start with the basics.

This time, we’re diving into the world of cheese fondue—what it is and, more importantly, where to find the best one in Interlaken.
