Chillin` in Switzerland 🥶 Chasing Alpine dreams in Interlaken, Grindelwald, and Iseltwald 🏔️🚠☃️❄️🇨🇭⁠
Very close to Interlaken is Grindelwald. A small alpine village very touristy and very famous for its ski slopes in winter and its many hiking trails in summer. It is the starting point for many cable cars and funiculars that take you to one of the highest mountains in the region.⁠

Winter in hostels is pure magic ❄️✨. Cozy nights by the fire, hot chocolate in hand, and stories from around the world filling the room. One night, we all bundled up for a spontaneous snowball fight under the stars—it started with laughter and ended with friendships to last a lifetime. ⛄💛⁠

When the seasons meet🍂❄️⁠
⁠
The autumn colors were still shy while the snow was already there. Perfect conditions to discover the famous Oeschinensee Lake in the Bernese Alps. After a long absence, the snow is back. Let`s hope it stays here for a long time so that we can quickly put on our skis! ⛷️⁠
