The best way to get to Interlaken: the train
Do you want to travel but are also concerned about our beautiful planet and your carbon footprint?
We definitely recommend you to travel by train during your trip to Switzerland. The train network is so well developed and you will be able to admire the incredible landscape of this amazing country from your window.
Travel green and save up to 20% on your accommodation !!
Travel and exploration are part of the human experience. But we can no longer ignore the impacts it has on our planet. For example, a train trip from Paris to Bern produces 80% less CO2 than a plane. So we are encouraging you to take the train instead of the plane in an effort to help slow down the impacts of climate change. Together with Europe's Famous Hostel and Eurail, Balmers Hostel is participating in Eco-Wanderer, a campaign to reward you for choosing train over plane.
Your CO2 savings are converted into discounts at the best hostels in Europe
Ecowanderer
El Eco-Wanderer campaign is a project focused on sustainable tourism. In partnership with Interrail, our customers will use the Carbon Emissions Calculator to calculate their carbon emissions offset when traveling to one of Famous hostels by train. We will offer a discount on your stay at your destination hostel based on this value, ranging from 5% to 20% off the total value.

How does it work?
We developed an online calculator app, which calculates the carbon emissions produced when traveling from one destination to another, and compares its offsets if traveling by train or plane. Based on the amount produced, you can receive a discount on the price of your stay at your destination hostel.
