Balmer`s Hostel, Interlaken, Switzerland 🇨🇭
We came to Interlaken because this hostel was way cheaper than anything in Zurich, and we prefer the small towns anyway. Little did we know that this hostel would win our hearts with more than just its prices and good location. Turns out it`s the oldest private hostel in the whole of Switzerland, and it`s the coziest place ever. I couldn`t resist taking the camera around the whole hostel 😂

Is this the most breathtaking village in Switzerland? 🇨🇭✨ Mürren is a car-free alpine paradise, perched 1,650m above the Lauterbrunnen Valley with jaw-dropping views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
How to get there: Take a train to Lauterbrunnen, then hop on the cable car to Grütschalp. From there, a scenic mountain train takes you straight to Mürren. Alternatively, you can take the cable car via Stechelberg for a different route with incredible views.

Which one are you visiting?! 😍🇨🇭☃️
🪂 GRINDELWALD – Best for 360 panoramas and a vast number of ski slopes. Has iconic views of the Eiger, epic off-piste, and is amazing for sledding, paragliding & winter hikes too.
🚠 MÜRREN – Best for breathtaking scenery. Arguably the most picturesque ski village in Switzerland, and home to some of the best freeride terrain.
🐮 WENGEN – Best for classic Swiss charm & Lauterbrunnen valley views 🏡 A fairytale ski village with world-class race slopes, endless toboggan runs, and fun winter hikes.
Which one would be your winner?! ☺️🫶🎿

🌟 A dream comes true 🌟
The charming village of Brienz on the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz is also a wonderful excursion in winter. ❄️
Highlights:
👉 Walk along the snow-covered lakeside promenade
👉 Historic Brienz woodcarving workshop 🛠️
Tip: A detour to the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum - the houses are closed in winter, but a walk through the grounds is still highly recommended. 😍

⏳ One Day in Interlaken? Big Mistake!
Interlaken isn’t just a quick stop—it’s a destination!
Stay at least 3 days to:
🚠 Explore Jungfraujoch & Schilthorn
🌊 Cruise Lake Thun & Lake Brienz
🏔️ Visit Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald & Mürren
✨ Discover hidden gems like Schynige Platte & Oeschinensee
Don’t rush it—Interlaken deserves more than a day!
