Calling all adventurers! Interlaken, the explorer’s playground, awaits. This Swiss getaway is packed with dazzling scenery, and scream-your-pants-off adventures, ideal for adrenaline junkies and romantics alike.
The best way to experience Interlaken is a highly-contested national debate. Is it skiing down the powdered slopes from the top of Jungfrau? Taking a relaxing stroll through flowered fields? Soaring a thousand meters above a sparkling lake? You’ll have to decide for yourself.

Live on the Edge
Have you ever been on a balance beam? Well, this trail is a little like that, only 1500 meters up. The Hardergrat Trail runs 27km between Interlaken and Brienz along a dizzying ridge. This hike is definitely not for beginners, but offers stunning views of the surrounding Alpine peaks that are well worth the shaking muscles.
Hike the Hardergrat Trail
“The ankle turning, head spinning, edge walking Hardergrat trail was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever been on & an amazing intro to this Swiss weekend getaway.” ‑@michcrook
