Interlaken ist unter einer dicken Schneedecke, was nun?
"Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful.
And since we've got no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"
What! Wait! Stop! No place to go? Who am I kidding? We are in Interlaken and there is no way you will stay inside next to the fireplace on a snowy day.
Lass mich dir den perfekten Schneetag in den schweizer Alpen vorstellen.
First of all, you should start your day with an amazing breakfast, because you will surely need it. Snow season is the coldest and you will be happy to have this extra energy to keep you warm.
Balmers Hostel in Interlaken is perfectly located between 3 winter sports resorts. There are plenty of choices here, with the most convenient one being the Jungfrau ski resort which is divided into 3 smaller resorts (Grindelwald - First, Grindelwald - Wengen, and Mürren - Schilthorn). Combined they cover more than 200 kilometres of slopes! Enough for weeks to discover all of them. We are only 30 mins minutes away from the valley stations of Wengen, Grindelwald, and Mürren. So to all professional skiers, beginners or non-skiers, Interlaken is an ideal base to spend your winter holidays.
Skifahren und Snowboaden
If you want to ride the puff, go to the reception and book your day on the slope. You can rent your material next door (if possible do it the day before hitting the slopes so you can catch an early train) and store it in our ski storage room. If you’d like a bit more guidance - there are options for you to book group or private lessons with a nice (probably handsome) teacher who will guide you during a fun day in the snow.

Transport
The public transport to the ski areas is included in the Jungfrau Ski pass (covering all 3 ski areas mentioned above) as well as in your Hiking and Sledding pass which you can buy with us at the reception desk. The bus stop just across the road will take you to the next train station and from there you can just hop on a train and enjoy a beautiful train ride to the ski areas. Might sound confusing but we have maps on hand to show you everything you need to know and we are happy to help you with your planning.
Schlitteln und Schneeschuhlaufen
Another great activity to experiment with during your stay on a snowy day in Interlaken is to discover the quiet and peaceful side of the Swiss Alps by going on a Schneeschuhwanderungund deinen Tag mit Nachtschlitteln. As we want you to have the best time and try to live a real Swiss experience, there is even a package deall where you will discover the beauty of a snowy forest equipped with snowshoe, then warm yourself up with a good Glühwein, plus a traditional Swiss cheese fondue in a lovely restaurant and finally end up this amazing half-day with a 45 minutes sled ride down the mountain. O,h what a fun!
Fall, Fly, or Jump
You are more of an adrenaline kind of gal? No worries, these extreme activities in Interlaken are available during winter time.
Du kannst paragliden, skydiven, bungee jumping, and even do a Alpenrundflug oder eine Gletscherlandung machen. An einem Sonnigen Tag you will have an extraordinary moment.
