Guide,Interlaken,Grindelwald
We’ll discuss our thoughts after touring these breathtaking villages in this blog post, along with the finest places to stay, eat, and travel to Grindelwald, Interlaken, and Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. The most amazing and unusual thing about our April trip was how the weather changes drastically every kilometer as you travel to these villages by car. We experienced beautiful autumnal days in Lauterbrunnen after traveling through summer to Interlaken, and stunning winter scenery upon climbing Grindelwald. We are delighted to share our memories of it with you because it was such a special and lovely experience that it will live on in our memories forever.

Things to do
Interlaken
Harder Kulm
Situated directly north of the spa and congress location, the Harder Kulm is Interlaken’s “local mountain”—actually not a mountain at all, but rather a notable viewpoint of the western Harder. 1321 meters is its elevation, and it is a part of the Emmental Alps. There is a funicular that leads from Interlaken Ost to it.

Hohematte
Höhematte From the promenade, which is home to some of Interlaken’s best hotels, to the towering backdrop of the Jungfrau, Interlaken has been a protected area of historical interest since 1864. The hub of the tourism and vacation area of the same name, Interlaken is the ideal place to start trips to the mountains or to Lakes Thun and Brienz. Additionally, Interlaken is known as the “European Adventure Capital.” Here is one example to demonstrate it: paragliding. Land here on the Höhematte after enjoying a flight above Interlaken.

Staubbach Falls
The water from the 297-meter-tall Staubbach flows in Switzerland flows to the valley floor on the left flank of the Lauterbrunnen in the Bernese. The waterfall’s name originates from the water that shoots out in all directions as a result of the ongoing thermal activity. Summertime access to the fall is possible by a rock gallery. For the rest of it, the path is impassable due to ice and maybe falling rocks. The Staubbachfall is one of those waterfalls that emerges on the sides of Ice Age trough valleys in the Alps. The streams flow over tall, vertical stones that were sculpted by glacier erosion in the icy past.

Thrill Walk, Birg
