What does Interlaken, Switzerland not offer?
Extreme Adventure:
From the many daring feats you can choose from in Interlaken (sky diving, white water rafting, hiking), we opted for canyoning. Starting at the top of a huge waterfall, we were lead by guides to cliff jump, slide, and shimmy through canyons through the rushing fall.
This is not for the faint hearted. 40 foot jumps, cold temperatures, and steep crevices all make this adventure a thrill for any adrenaline junkie. Two guides ensure the safety of the group and clearly communicate (with some a witty sense of humor for us) how to make it down the canyon.
What a thrill this was! I wouldn't leave Europe without an outdoor adventure in Switzerland. Canyoning was a new concept to me - from the picture you can probably get a taste of the fun we had.
Superb Hostel:
Balmers Hostel proved to be one of the best hostels I stayed in all summer. The clean and comfortable hostel offered free breakfast, a restaurant that cooked a great burger, and the Metro night club. Between 6pm and 7pm, they offer 2 for 1 on drinks in the quaint beer garten.
We were also able to book our canyoning directly from Balmers which made the process quick and convenient. Great rates, good food, comfortable beds, and the "famous" Metro Bar made this an ideal hostel for us.
Natural Beauty:
Snow capped peaks act as a breathtaking gate to the valley where Interlaken sits in between two lakes.
